Livescript looks like it fixes some of the warts of Coffeescript while also raising the level of abstraction.
Julia is something I've already been looking at. I'm a bit torn on it -- it has vastly fewer libraries than Scipy and R so I don't know if I'm ready to "wear the hair shirt". At this point in life I'm more concerned with doing stuff with existing libraries than building the libraries myself.
Elixir I'm less excited about, because I'm not so excited about Erlang. I feel that Scala provides all of what I'd want from Erlang, along with better sequential performance.
The incredible PyCall.jl package allows use of existing Python libraries from Julia with automatic object translation, including no-copy use of NumPy arrays:
