OCaml not mentioned then?

I find it interesting that by developing Mono the free software community is actively and quickly embracing and extending a Microsoft standard. Way to go!

Nevertheless, my own personal choice for a language would be Objective CAML. It's as fast as C, and uses type inference, so you get static typing without all the hassle of having to defining every variable's type (as in Java, C, etc. ...). And of course it has garbage collection, LISP macros, data matching and all the features you'd want in a modern language (and won't find in Java or C#).

Rich.
