APL comes to my mind.

  As in, it is still 20 years ahead of its time, or was it's moment somewhere in the 80s?

    20 years ago they redesigned already built products to make them more consumer friendly (nothing wrong with that, pretty cool). Now it's mostly lagging behind and making their products less consumer friendly.

    That it was ahead of its time when it came out (1964).

  Had some considerable influence on the development of Lisp, too.

    Really? Seems to me that Lisp has strongly resisted adopting any syntactic sugar whatsoever for terse array manipulation. I can hardly imagine where in any mainstream dialect this APL influence is palpable.
