Or should I say "backsight"? I, too, program in one of those diversion languages on that VM for TVs... but I also agree that there is hardly anything radically new in the area of programming languages - or at least it's not so obvious as in 60-70's. It's always enjoyable to see this prophecies about what already happened - this one was no exception. I managed to install all three languages (sans BASIC which I know very well from my "B"eginnings) during the course of the talk and it was fun to try them out. I got lost in those parantheses for a while which brought back some university memories. I've never tried ML before and it is my favourite of these, for sure.
