Maybe I'm biased, but I think the future is all about functional programming. C has its benefits by being very very low-level, but if you're going to include a whole bunch of new features, like GC and CSP, imo you may as well just go the whole hog and mix in some beautiful features like functional purity and type inference. I would think a functional language designed around efficiency could gain a lot from supercompilation, and would be easier to write correct programs in, too. (Like I say, I may be biased: my undergrad dissertation is on highly-optimised second-order reduction systems.) cls
