Ideas from functional programming languages are now becoming mainstream.
I like it how pattern matching turned up in both Java and Python at the same time. If people quit hating on Java for a moment they'd see it was getting "ML the good parts."
Once people get past "A monad is like a burrito" and "this is the 20th blog post I've written about monads and I almost understand it now" that idea might get some traction too.
