Yes, I know.

Not many I can think of. Certainly a lot of cool ideas come from
academic research projects, like in language design. But truthfully,
most open-source contributors are really more interested in
reimplementing existing ideas. You know, it's much easier when people
already elaborated and a design and thought out all the details.
I think it'll never stop. It's like the wine and mono guys trying
desperately to implement Microsoft things, always one step behind.

Man, slow down on the coffee. You're trying to learn
C++/Haskell/Lisp/Tcl all at the same time! I won't give you more rope... ;)
