F#uture?

Am I wrong in thinking that F# will perhaps be the greatest thing for functional programmers since Lisp was standardized as common lisp?

Its quick, has .NET library access and integration, and has a lot of neat ideas in the language structure. It seems like it will be super popular in the near future.

I've done a few benchmarks myself, and it beats the best Haskell that I can write. I come from ML, OCaml, and Haskell and F# beats all three in speed handily on the toy programs I've written so far. Haskell seems to have better support for threading though, but F#'s model is more simple. I haven't used any of the big library functions in .NET though so I can't speak for their speed, which I hear is pretty bad.

Anyone agree with me on the Syntax? I'm really digging it so far, and I'm comming from Haskell.
