OK. That's not going to include COBOL at least for engineering and scientific applications IMO... Seriously. Real programming language innovation is going to include some things which I've yet to see in new languages though I haven't been looking lately since typically you run a language on top of a language, like you may run say LOJBAN on a Java substrate or say a Mathematica-like interpreter language on an application built with C++. An example element of real programming language innovation might include something like this - the ability to execute code backwards. Do you want to shift the paradigm? You need to change the way we think to get closer to how we think.
