I've always thought it would be interesting to see a language with hybrid Perl/C++ish syntax. For example, you actually have specifiers like class, but you keep Perl things like (roughly) typeless variables and different funny symbols for different ways of organizing data. Maybe you could even make the funny symbols extensible, so you could, for example, define + to mean a tree (so +foo is a tree named foo). The whole thing would be parsed and converted into Perl for execution, so you wouldn't have to re-write everything. I'm probably just insane, but it's an idea...
