System programming using FPI do system programming. By this, I mean that I use quite a bit of various Posix/Unix APIs and (incidently) lots of TCP/UDP networking stuff on a daily basis to build long running apps that must be very, very solid, scalable and robust. I don't hear a lot about doing this type of programming using FPs and HOPLs. Actually, I don't think that I've heard of much serious system programming work outside of Erlang and (ocassionaly) O'Caml. I've been using Standard ML (w/ Concurrent ML) these days and have fell in love (or at least a well regarded like) with The Standard ML Basis Library. Alas, Standard ML doesn't seem to have generated much interest outside of academia. This is a shame, since the Basis covers a lot of practical system stuff. What are the other higher order languages well suited for system programming? (And, no fair if you have to drop down to C/C++ for Posix, binary data manipulation or networking stuff.)
