There is a triangle of promise, hype and results. When the promise is there and the hype is there but the results aren't there that's different from promise without hype. Haskell has a lot of promise and a lot of hype and could use some "tough love" in terms of understanding why it hasn't been adopted in industry. (Hint: most of the time when somebody is writing a program that whole point is that they want to create a side effect. A real revolution in software might come out of that insight.)
"X in Y" is a common programming motif in advanced systems. Large systems in C, for instance, tend to contain some kind of runtime and DSL-ization if not an embedded interpreter. I think it's an absolute blast to write DSLs in Java and unlike other languages that get DSL hype (Scala) you have IDEs that work and cooperate with this use case.
