Personally, I find that one much more interesting. Before I was familiar with array languages, I hoped that functional programming and lisp would become the new zeitgeist of software development. Now, I think that array languages have the most promise in revolutionizing the discipline. While it probably wont happen, I wouldn't complain if array languages became the defacto norm for most new applications.

Is it a deeper rabbit hole than FP? Could you give some links or good array language names?

what would you add to awk so that it would make a big difference?

#7I hope one day when I grow old I get to engage in fun pasttimes like what Rob did.

I think a lot of these ideas have gone into Python's Numpy, for example. But I believe these are useful for the domain of signal processing and numerical computation, and not that well suited for general problems. (You might be interested in Racket which is a Scheme relative that has very good support for both domains.)
