"Worse is better"
I'm thinking the haskell team has done something wonderful: repeating the scheme for taking the world previously done by the Worse is Better camp: making a computer virus, let it spread, then making it better.
First, they infiltrated microsoft. They made C# (the virus), which is a slighty better java. Now, with c#3, it's clear that all those haskell guys at microsoft succeded in adding functional programming to the virus.
All those who work programming in C#, rejoice.
