Some ideas in Haskell are easy to integrate into other languages: see list comprehensions in Python. I don't see Perl picking up pervasive laziness anytime soon, nor Python compile-time type inference.
I think perl6 is specced with pervasive laziness, although I'm not sure it's actually implemented anywhere.
I'm not sure about pervasive, but I read somewhere that Perl 6's lists are head-strict, tail-lazy by default... Regards, Brad Larsen
