Not trying to start a language war, but I'm so torn. I'm debating on a language to start a big project in, and although Common Lisp is probably my first choice, Haskell seems like it's gaining a lot of momentum (which means awesome libraries).

More than 2100 libraries on Hackage, 2M+ cabal install's, 7 GSoC students starting up Haskell projects, 2 years of funding for Parallel Haskell from MSR, Concurrent Collections from Intel, a new Sparc64 codegen from Sun/Oracle, and a one click installer: http://haskell.org/platform

Haskell web frameworks fighting it out:

* http://happstack.com

* http://snapframework.com

It's been a great week for Haskell!

Snap has me very excited! My installation of cabal is rather messed up on my machine, so I haven't been able to install it yet.

"A brief introduction to [Concurrent Collections] using this module can be found at http://software.intel.com/foobar " Cool URL, but... I doubt that ;) (at http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/haskell-cnc/0.1....)
