What do you think about functional languages like Haskell, OCaml etc ?

They need a much better idea of time (such as approaches to McCarthy's fluents).

And then there is the issue that we need to make "systems" ...

I like what a function is, and this idea should be used, but I think it is better used rather differently ...
