Modern(?) systems languages.

I was reading Lisp the Underdog, and I came across the post about Rust. It seems like safe, concurrent and GC'd systems languages are all the rage these days. What do you guys think? Is this the future? Do you want verification and all that, or do you just want C and friends? How do you deal with concurrency? How would you like to deal with concurrency?

Lisp has been Cutting Edge and Innovative back...in 1958.
Now its just a nest of parens leaking memory all over the place.
If you look of Real Enterprise Grade Solutions, you won't notice any "Lisps" there. Commercial Lisps just can't match Java/C# in Speed, Features or Flexibility.
