Don Box mentioned this last week but it took me a while to get to the papers - MS Research released an implementation of Comega, an experimental language that combines a unified model for objects, relational data, and XML with a concurrent programming model. I really like the unified data model, but the concurrency model seems like it would be difficult to use in practice - a bit like programming your own state machine. I much prefer the E concurrency model of using "promises" for future results - it's an easier way to coordinate parallel chunks of procedural code.
