I'd like something that has everything that Common Lisp has but with the ease of Perl. Ruby's somewhere in that spectrum, but I'm pretty sure we could do better by ditching more syntax. IOW something that has reliable, predictable macros and syntax, but with just a little more visual cues and a lot more readable and standardized built in function names than Lisp (possibly stealing and extending scheme's punctuated names).
And really we should lose all or all but one sigil the whole $/@/% thing is just messing up generic calls.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
