Ihaka himself seems to be eyeing with Common Lisp as the next best statistical environment: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/%7Eihaka/downloads/Compstat-2008.pdf

  Lisp-Stat used to be a big deal in the late-80s/early-90s, and had a shot at becoming the dominant open-source statistics package inspired by Bell Labs S. It eventually lost mindshare to R, though, and was pretty solidly eclipsed by the late 1990s. It'd be interesting if the R developer responds by trying to build something like Lisp-Stat again. ;-)
