Python Package Index : futures 2.0. Just stumbled upon it, one of the features is new in Python 3.2, but the reference implementation also runs with Python 2.6. Basically does something like my lazypy and lindypy (i.e. solves the same problems, but in a slightly different way).

Pharo Open Source Smalltalk. I should take another look at it, as it looks very sleek now and the installation has become really trivial. Clever how a Pharo.App directory is loaded, which is the app for OSX and includes simple startup tools (LNK for Windows and .sh for Linux) for Linux and Windows. Additionally, there is a new VM and the whole thing has become really fast. And it no longer looks so outdated (unfortunately still GUI-in-window and no native windows).
