As a consumer of programming languages, I'd like the evolution of languages in the mainstream to be less incremental and more punctuated.
While there is such a thing as punctuated equilibrium, I believe you'll find that evolution is largely incremental in nature. Seems like evolution simply has to happen this way, whether we're talking about biology or technology, including programming languages.
