For me there are two main ones:
* A lot of people have said this one but I'll +1 it. Tuples fully
built into the language with destructuring and all the common
features. A year or two ago I thought this was definitely going
to happen.
* Relaxing policy on symbolic and
infix/prefix/postfix/binary/unary notation, perhaps having
protections against using obvious things like "." but relatively
free elsewhere. From a science/math point of view this would be
great, and it can greatly improve code readability in such
applications.
