An example of a FPL that has little chance is Haskell. I saw one poster on haskell group call it a science project. I agree. The Haskell is nibbling around the edges but not providing industrial-strength libraries, etc. Fortunately OCAML seems to have a big base and a lot of people working on various projects. HOWEVER, core functionality like IPV6 socket library code is not checked in! Why?
