and my typical question..  are those really well supported on a wide 
variety of operating systems on a wide variety of hardware platforms?

Its painful enough to deal with non-portable software on something which 
is not a x86-linux box (you mean everything isn't 32-bit little endian?) 
but its an order of magnitude worse at least if the toolchain isn't well 
supported.   Please note, I'm not claiming haskel and OCaml have this 
problem, but I always wonder when its a new language.
