I forgot to mention type inference, which is mandatory. I'm such a nitpicker that the if/when/unless nonorthogonality already bugs me. I like the dropping of the "new" keyword. On the .Net platform, SML.Net seems out of date, and F# seems relegated to the role of research project, so I may actually refer my .Net buddies to this. Another issue with F# is lack of integration into the visual studio; how does nemerle stack up with regard to using a "typical" windows toolchain? What about use with ASP.Net? I don't really know how the backend of the ASP.Net build process works, but if I could use Nemerle without having to convince anyone in my office (in the files I have sole dominion over) that would be great.
