Hopefully in another decade or so, when we see the next iteration of C, it will more closely resemble Python.
Actually, it'll more closely resembly Lisp, minus Lisp's syntax. Unfortunately, the real key to Lisps power is its syntax and how its simple syntax makes it trivially easy to modify data as code, prior to compilation, which allows unlimited extensibiliity to the language, and hence no language will really be as powerful or flexible as Lisp until it essentially becomes Lisp.
