I personally would love to see Scala (v3) to become a better general purpose language. It's modern with a lightweight syntax, it's powerful (up to compile time verification of your code), it can embed all kinds of DSLs (which makes dedicated external DSLs superfluous), now it starts even to "run everywhere", but it's slow(er) and fat(er) compared to C++, Rust, and the other contenders in some very important areas, which sadly rules it out for many tasks. I have been doing C++ for the last 6 years now for scientific computing so safety wasn't the first priority, but chasing pointers while debugging is certainly no fun. Recently, I have been getting into Rust and I really like what I have seen so far, at least for my use cases.
