Error messages is a challenge, but then that would be sn area for 
impovement. Im sure intersting things could be done with pattern 
matching.

Caching could fix compilation times.

I dont know, you might say that javascript suffers from it, but 
it looks like it thrives by it. When you get frameworks that 
curse becomes an assets. Ive never used Common LISP Music, but 
Ive heard composers create interesting things with it. When you 
can create DSLs, you  open up new arenas. Kinda like D does for 
some in scientific computing.
