Or in Perl's case, a seriously ambitious redesign: http://dev.perl.org/perl6

Note that among the features being added are lazy lists, generators and 
currying, to add to the stuff Perl 5 has which lets you do 
sort-of-functional programming. Haskell gets mentioned fairly often in 
some of the discussions, but that might be because I'm the one who keeps 
mentioning it :-)
