Well multiprocessor support always comes up....
As I may have mentioned in private, at PyCon 2008, in discussion with
folks off-line, an Erlang feature that interests folks that spoke with me, is
hot-swapping.
Closely related, another thing that I discussed was long-running
transactions/compensation. Compensation is the ability to choose an alternative
action for a transaction that cannot be atomic. In the WS-BPEL model, language
wise, compensation involves taking snapshots of successful states, which are
offered to the compensation handler when an error occurs. I haven't implemented
compensation yet.
Cheers,
Andrew
