In my opinion there are many more real world problems, that can be most efficiently solved with functional languages like Haskell, as (software) industry can think of at the moment; they only know their C/C++, Java, etc. but can't even think of the power of functional programming or at least don't take languages like Haskell for full. (Of corse, there are exceptions to the rule, too.)

What do you think: Will Haskell (the related compilers/tools) be "commercialized" in the future?

Let me counter with another question. Do you think people will pay for it and enough to keep the vendors going? Regards Friedrich
