The wiki mentions call/cc as a wish.  Any idea what the realistic
prospects of this being implemented are?  I'm interested not so much in
microthreads as in the use of continuations in web apps, which I've come
to see as essential.

Another wish I'd very much like to see fullfilled is keyword arguments.

Also: may I ask why the type system was moved away from prototypes?
