Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

I would suggest that Ada is another great language that could be integrated into mono/the CLR platform.
That would seriously rock, with the Ada95 frontend finally part of the official gcc distribution it has become much easier to get an ada compiler, but the language still suffers from incomplete/immature bindings to different stuff (the gtk bindings are pretty good, the gnome bindings still lack some stuff). With an integration into mono/CLR, it would automatically get access to the gtk# bindings (if i understood .net assemblies correctly) and all the nice .net class library.
