I don't know. Syntax is... hard to judge, but there's certainly some momentum behind the idea of a more rigid syntax (e.g. python significant whitespace, go shipping with formatting tools) that belongs more to the Fortran tradition than the Lisp one. OO style seems to be coming out of the other end of the hype cycle, and while many argue that OO is a lispy concept I don't think the community ever really got behind it. Metaprogramming is still an open field, but I see as much going on with languages that make a strict delineation between compile and runtime as with the looser lisp approach.
