There is a vast area between the two extremes, though, including such
applications as:

	ErlGuten
	Wings3D
	20001 ICFP Judges' Prize winner

but as you worked on two of these, you already know this :)

Unintentional though it may be, Erlang fills a general programming void.
Haskell is still too academic to bank on.  ML and OCaml are often too
static.  Lisp has grown crusty in certain ways and can be awkward after
using more modern functional syntax (e.g. Lisp's LET).  Python is overly
OOP-centric.

Of course one loophole is that "fault tolerant" can be extended to mean "all
applications."
