My biggest annoyance about language design these days is that people are thinking too small. Like Lisp or not, its a totally different idea than the C family. It seems like every new language I hear about these days is a C family language with some syntactic sugar thrown in. No new ideas, just slight tweaks on old ones.
This is precisely why I am interested in functional programming languages. Scheme/Lisp, Erlang, Haskell... They are different enough to be worth investigating. I'm not hot on Ruby for example because it seems like another perl/python as far as how it fits into my toolbox.
