After spending some time exploring different functional languages, if FP does make it at all - my money would be on Haskell. There is something to be said for focused languages that does one thing but does it really well, and the feeling of security when a certain style is enforced over a codebase.

I probably wouldn't use it for anything today, but in another couple years maybe. The ecosystem seems like it's reaching critical mass.

I think Clojure is ready right now. For "standalone" languages haskell seams to be on a good way, some people are allready doing start ups with it.
