I also was encouraged by the presence of OCaml.  I'm troubled by the absence
of strong typing in Python, and it's good to see a strongly typed language
with comparable expressive strength.

I haven't yet tried writing anything in OCaml, but I'm anticipating being
let down by the library support in comparison with Python, particularly on
Win32!

I'm also a fan of Haskell, but somehow the bar to practical application
seems that much higher...
