I do miss Occam. It was a good way of thinking to layout your program in steps with data moving through the system. Other, newer languages do the same thing but feel like they don't trust the parallelism in some ways ("here's how you write programs, oh yeah, this is how we do parallel").
I often think Occam and Forth / Postscript are the languages that made me think the most about what a program should be.
