> Haskell and OCaml as implementation languages would signal huge academic bias

Apparently reading papers from the past 30 years is a "huge academic bias."

I'd honestly be fine if it was implemented in Racket too.

No one has ever actually offered me a substantive argument that Haskell is unusable. It always seems to be "well, I don't personally understand it, and that means it's unusable" Uhh okay.
