Perhaps it's time for Occam and Linda to go mainstream:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam_programming_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_%28coordination_language%29

Occam is inherently parallel and Linda is inherently distributed.
Although, Occam is ugly. And there's still the type problem. But Linda
is neat. Something based on this set of ideas would be awesome.
