A new major version of Nemerle language
was released. Nemerle features a very high level .NET language with
functional programming support. This version brings full support to .NET
2.0 generics and a bunch of
other things. After the release of C# 3.0 spec preview
it might be interesting to see how could next generation of .NET
languages look like.

"care to explain how "GOTO :FOOBAR" or, worse, "GOTO 26765", could possibly be any more "expressive" than "foobar()"?"
Are you confusing goto with gosub ? Goto is not used for functions calls, and it cannot be replaced with function calls.
Consider a language without exceptions, then goto can be useful to jump on error handling code at the end of a function.

"goto was removed or suppressed in procedural languages - these languages lost a bit of expressivity, but gained clarity."

BTW, threading support isn't builtin to C#: it's part of something bigger called .NET -- a huge library, accessible by any language targetting the CLI runtime...
Nemerle is ok, as far as .net languages go, but it's just like Paul Graham once said: modern languages look more like Lisp everyday...
Personally, i believe Haskell to be a pretty parenthesesless, statically-typed Scheme with type inference...
