Additions I'd like to see:

1) endian aspects.
2) full Unicode support including sorting, character db, regexps, bounded
and unbounded need, iterators for code points, graphème clusters, word
boundaries, bidi, etc.
3) cross platform GUI.
4) multiple return types:

  function Blah return Integer, Float; 

As an example.

5) Lambdas for the people looking for new (i.e. Old) trendy features.

6) support for offloading to gpu's.
7) memory mapped streams.
8) networking support packages.
