Azul is basiclly a modern lisp (well java ahh) maschine but its kind of the same. There is an awesome discussion between Cliff Click from Azul and Dave Moon (one of the guys who worked on the lisp maschine). http://www.azulsystems.com/blog/cliff/2008-11-18-brief-conve...
Another direction we should go in is security, we should have a trusted computingbase.
Some awesome stuff done by DARPA: http://www.crash-safe.org/papers (one of the lisp maschine guys, is working there too)
This would allow developer to focus more on alorithems and speed. That all said we still have do deal with the multicore problem :)
