If IBM or Oracle announced their official commitment to Scala, that would be a comparable scenario. It's not just F#, which has been available for a while now. It's that it's now a first-class citizen in all respects.

Is it you who are writing the program or "IBM or Oracle"?

The technology I can use for real work is to a certain extent dictated by what is acceptable to the organization. Backing from a major vendor goes a long way towards assuring that.

Was Perl backed by a major vendor? MySQL? FreeBSD?

If it's already backed by a major version, you're already late. So slow.
