I'd love to see Perl6 released. By incorporating first order content free grammers, it could the same for CFGS that Perl did for regexes. That would be world changing.
As for PHP: structured, clean PHP (written by people with an education and development experience in other languages) looks like Java. So why not just use Java: you get better performance (without having to compile it to C++) and access to great libraries. Of course, now that you're on the JVM you might as well start using better languages (Scala, Clojure, JRuby), which to operations look like just another jar/war file.
