I would have to second the C# comment.  The language is really doing great
things and still growing.  Now that it is almost entirely open source, it
is really gaining traction in other areas as well.

On a side note, I would REALLY like to see Ruby get some speed
improvements, as the language is REALLY clean and can lead so very elegant
code.
