I would like to see support for other languages. I'm specifically interested in Python, but something like Perl, or Ruby, might be nice too.
All the problems I solve, I solve in C and/or C++, but sometimes it might be nice to worry more about the algorithm and less about the stuff that C/C++ force you to worry about.
I think it would be relativly simple to "secure" Python, so a submitter doesn't have access to restricted stuff. Even builtins can be removed.
Support for different languages.

Adding a new language to the old system is too diffucult: you've all seen what happened when we tried to add java.
In the new system it's different; we can potentially add any kind of programming language. Nevertheless, I don't think we'll add many languages, we might only install C/C++, Java and Pascal (those allowed in most programming contests). For the rest....we'll need a long discussion and proves that they'll be used.
