For me Java is just getting deprecated, we do get Fork/Join, some Phaser stuff from Doug Lea, but it only solves local distribution/multi threading. Only thing that I see that could revive it is http://x10.sourceforge.net/x10home.shtml if they get it right, and even then we can expect it to be production ready in 2010 if they meet theirs roadmap. Definitely it's time to learn some new and cool. Erlang just scratched my programming itch, big time. It seems so powerful and simple to distribute and coordinate tasks in Erl.
