Have you seen the Pyret language? It seems to me like a great choice for teaching: pyret.org - the tricky design problem is figuring out how to convince students that it is worth using a teaching language. I'm glad you pointed out that issue in your post!

I havn't. Yeah, that's definitely an issue. IMHO most students don't want to use anything that's not common in industry. Including "why would we learn Haskell? isn't that academic?"
