I have only used haskell so my opinion is really biased and doesnt really count. but i find it quite easy to use and im fond of the lazy evaluation! how do others compare?

I go old school. Scheme is where it's at. Then again, that's also the only functional language I've learned too.

I only know a little of Scheme and basic Ocaml. Both are excellent languages (Scheme being the most concise and elegant language I know, and Ocaml has the best performances of all functional languages, afaik). I suspect is also very elegant and powerful too.

Hard to choose.

Anyway, CSharp 2 is going functional.
