Given how little inherent support for concurrency those two have, it is not a
huge shock that new programming languages are looking to do things
differently.

You can probably look forward to hearing more about Go, Clojure, Erlang, and
similar languages over the next while — or, at least, about the concurrency
models they embody and promote, to take advantage of the growing number of
processing cores / threads in modern hardware.
