Closures are the current hot feature for programming languages. The inclusion of closures in Java appears to be around the corner, and the C++ committee has recently voted on closures in the upcoming C++ 0x standard.
The introduction of closures into many mainstream languages indicate to me that the logicial next big features is going to be primitive aggregate operations. Those are operations that operate on collections such as lists or arrays.
