I hope it will be popular to write code that is elegant and easy to read. Code that anyone, including the author, can pick up decades later and understand what's going on right away.

Personally, I'd like to be programming in Pascal, with some new features added

  Heaps, Lists, Stacks, Queues, Dictionaries, and S-expressions all as first class objects.

  A new *magical assignment operator*  ::==  (or something like it) that does reactive assignment... if anything on the right changes, the left gets updated every single time after that point.  (Like assignment in a spreadsheet)

It would be nice if we can finally get capability based security, so we can stop blaming the users, and put the fun back in computing.
