In my opinion lazyness is useful, so let's just wait for an imperative language to steal that feature so people can actually use it, just like what happened with the rest of functional languages' features... (I know people are gonna mod me troll for this, don't worry)
Actually laziness is implemented in many OO imperative languages as the iterator pattern. So it's already been stolen, and is used so much its in the base library of the.Net framework.
