I kind of think there's room for a new dynamically-typed language that is designed around being fast to execute and doesn't cost such a huge performance multiple right off the top, and starts from day 1 to be multi-thread capable, but on the whole the trend is clearly in the direction of static typing.
Other than the "new" qualifier, Lisp supports all of that - SBCL compiles to native code, ecl/gcl compile to C (IIRC), etc.
It depends; I recall programming in Tcl in the late 90s, and that has only the string and the list as datatypes, but it felt very powerful, like Lisp but without the easy syntax.
