Well, I'll be glad as hell if Haskell is as popular in 4.5 years from now as Python is currently (pg's article about the Python Paradox was written August 2004). Hmm, I think I'll even be glad if Haskell will ever be as popular as Python was 4.5 years ago :)

It won't be "real" until there's a batteries-included, commercially supported ActiveHaskell on activestate.com.

OCaml (in the guise of F#) is the most likely mainstream FP language.

I rather like OCaml, but it seems like the community is too quiet / too small, and it's unlikely that it will suddenly explode. It's probably too late. :(
