Tongue in cheek, I'll throw another one in the pot, just for fun.

I just discovered OCaml.  Stands for "Objective Caml".  Caml derives
from ML.

Strong typing, safe, supports both functional and imperative
programming.  Can run in toplevel interactive mode, you can compile
portable bytecode, or you can compile machine code.

I'm just reading tutorials and screwing around.  I've never used OCaml
for anything serious.  But I like what I see...

Check out OCaml's position on this performance scorecard...

Has anyone actually used OCaml to do real stuff?  Like it?
