Have you taken a look at Microsoft's Axum?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axum_(programming_language)

Whether or not you're allergic to anything running on the .Net platform, you might give this language a look.  They've taken a step back and designed a language around concurrency and message passing.

There are some interesting concepts there.  I'd be curious to hear if those concepts could be readily implemented in other more mainstream programming languages and which of them simplified or complicated that process.
