This is very cool; I wasn't aware of the existence of some of these implementations.
The Wasp Lisp is an interesting idea and looks like it has many of the same benefits as Erlang. If I had to guess at what programming languages would look like in the future I'd say they'd at least include capability to (easily) do distributed computation like this, even if they're not based around the concept.
There are so many qualities that Lisp has, like its lack of syntax, that makes exploring new ideas very easy.
