IMHO we don't need any more OO-lite languages (like the ones listed) because we already have Java which does a reasonable job at filling the niche that the listed languages already do.
Rather I'd see a language that excells at a different paradigm - perhaps a functional one like OCaml or Haskell - perhaps one good at low level tasks like C - perhaps one that's still well suited for AI like Lisp - perhaps one well suited to numerical processing like Fortran which still has the most comprehensive numerical libraries that I know of.
If it weren't for the very small niche that would appreciate it, I'd most prefer the K language

which IMHO is the most productive (in code written vs results) language that I know of and in wide use in the financial community (http://www.kx.com/company/customers.php) |
