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.

Scheme's scope is lexical/static, which is very nice and encourages good programming style. Scheme doesn't have real macros(it does have syntax-case), but that is fine, as they're not hygienic, and we wouldn't want that in a language which was designed to be theoretically beautiful.
