Functional programming and Haskell

I once read somewhere that you should learn a new programming language every year to boost your mental agility. The last language I learnt was Object-Oriented (Ruby). I've decided that the next one will be functional (Haskell). To that end I've just installed Hugs 98. As massively parallel multi-core computing becomes commonplace in the future I expect functional programming to get more and more popular.
