I agree with Dirk's sentiment and would add another very important
reason: templates (e.g., generics).  I recently have been programming
a great deal in NJML which is basically SML.  The experience has been
*very* rewarding except for the size/time requirements of the system.
Basically, I have yet to write a piece of code twice because of
some change in typing---a major accomplishment in terms of code
reuse!!
