I like "HOPE" !
What does the "E" stand for ? "Enthusiasm" ? "Elegance" ? "Exoteric" ? "Exotic" ? "Érotisme" ?
And, it would be like so cool if HOPE had a scripting language named HOP, with primitives like SKIP, JUMP, FORGOTTOSAYMAYI that made some of the powerful, and complex, patterns in HOPE usable by mere mortals 
All, kidding aside: you have expressed some visionary ideas/insights about programming on CP over the years, and shown some very useful techniques for rendering C# more usable in the "functional way."
I'd like to see you, Anders, Mads, Andrew T., Eric L., Jon S., Miguel de I, Pete O', Sacha B, isolated in a rural cabin (with no internet, or telephone) for a month, and see what new language would emerge ! CodeProject could cover lawyer/legal expenses in case of divorce following your emergence, or other lawsuits, homicide defense costs, etc.

Well, "hop" would have make the reference to beer to obvious...

Just so I can tell people it's written in Blood.

I would SO MUCH learn that language and force my entire company to adopt it as official language and rewrite the whole codebase in BLOOD.
Also I would call the coding phase as SACRIFICE. This software was sacrificated in BLOOD. Damn it sounds good.

In the 'next great' language will be unimportant (we may call it the nil - non-important-language)...
IMHO the next step will be frameworks/environment (like Marc's HOPE) that will let you 'draw' your application logic in a completely different way...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

OOF - Object Oriented FORTH
A language that uses the objects proposed on the stack to suggest the next command based on the best consumption of the stack contents. Think IntelliType that helps you code the application.
For those of you unfamiliar with FORTH, it is a stack based language that requires that you code a command (verb in FORTH speak) before you can use it. You, in effect, create a language tailored to the application. You can even rewrite the compiler as you go by creating commands that execute immediately when they are used instead of being compiled (think intelligent macros).
The hardest part of FORTH programming is keeping track of the stack as you go. Many a stack diagram has been written just to make sure you are composing a stack for later commands to consume properly.
The limitation of FORTH, is that the stack is composed of integer values, but if they can be replaced with objects (think HP-48 calculators), it could be much more powerful.
Since each FORTH command can be executed independently, groups can write and test their assignments and then zipper their code together without fear of collision (it would be a longer explanation to show how that works), which is something I done in my career and we've been able to rack up large systems in short time frames. We can literally fling code at a wall and it will all stick.
That's been my fantasy.

If you like the Elektra Belle Epoque[^] in the post below don't fret, there are cheaper[^] ones around.
But if you don't like the Belle Epoque you can always have a look at Alessi Aerodinamica[^] if Art Deco is your cup of tea coffee.
There is also help to get for the technology[^] freak. (actually not, but it looks like it)
Enough with this automized stuff, if you find the Japanese to be a bit sloppy in their ceremonies you should take a look at Tom Metcalfe[^]. (Sorry about the quality of the video, I couldn't find the link I was looking for)
Personally I prefer this[^], as it's a good compromise between easy to use and good coffee.

I have caved and bought this[^] for the office.
I think it says a great deal about the state of coffee over here that these are the depths to which I plunge.

What a sh*t selection for the coffee. It only goes up to 11, I get the 12 over here for mine.

Please don't rub it in.
Just made the first cuppa and it's...OK. My Uncle in Melbourne has one (I know - why on Earth would you have a coffee machine in Melbourne unless there was a zombie plague and you were unable to leave the house to travel the 5m to the nearest cafe) and the coffee is actually pretty good.
I think we get "American Style" coffee over here.

But if I sell the cars I could get an Elektra Belle Epoque.

Their other machines[^] are just as awesome.
It's not just Italians that make outstanding design. (save some of their cars)
Whenever I've paid off my house and bought my '59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz[^] cabriolet, one of those machines are next on my list.
