Using functional languages such as Lisp in your engine?

Not quite the same thing, but I started out in coding a trading system in Smalltalk. There's a great deal that can be said about having a flexible language base where functions are first class citizens. In short order one can create very compact and powerful tools.
Anyone using functional languages on the CLR? Maybe something like F# or OCaml, with portability to Mono? Go ahead, tell me it's really possible to have the best of all worlds! ... one can dream.
