I found an interesting article through Digg regarding the programming language F#.  It is a functional programming language developed by Microsoft.  Apparently, the language is more academic and mathematically complex than C#, but is interchangeable through the .NET framework and Common Language Runtime.  The F# language was written based on the principles of lambda calculus, which was the brainchild of Alonzo Church.  The writer of this article argues that the rise of dynamic and functional programming languages and their interchangeability may very well mark the rise of a software development renaissance.
