The time is ripe for the next "big" language + framework to come on the scene. I predict it will be a compiled language with rapid compilation and advanced debugging/runtime monkeypatching, such that most of the advantages of dynamic languages will be subsumed. It will also support some advanced way to handle concurrency.

Add inferred typing and you've got F# :-)

Why do you think "compiled" is the opposite of "dynamic"?

I don't, but much of the rest of the world does.

Sounds pretty much like Go, which I personally don't find all that fascinating, in the same sense that I don't find C fascinating.
I really wish that in the near-ish future some group of people, be it a company, research group or just a bunch of hackers would create something that would cross-breed the best ideas of say Lisp, Haskell and Python in a coherent way to create something really fascinating.
