Well, JavaScript was pretty darn close to NewtonScript, except for the bizarre way arrays work and the weird semi-implicit prototype inheritance. Since JavaScript has taken over the world, I wish that stuff was cleaner. :)
And speaking of prototype inheritance, I still think that makes a lot of sense in some domains (like UI programming) but hasn't gotten much traction.
Beyond that, having an integrated object store (as opposed to a filesystem) is an idea from the 90's that really should get more mainstream attention.
