The challenge with any type safe language is interacting with the outside world -- internal consistency is easy, but figuring out how to mediate the non-typesafe outer world is always a bit of a fight. Slick is one swing at the typesafe ORM, but I'm not sure it gets it quite right.

For concurrency, I'd be very intrigued if streams were the first-class concurrency approach -- It's been interesting working with Akka Streams in Scala. They make 90% of concurrency-related things easy and 10% of things seem to be fighting leaky abstractions, but I'd be curious if they were built into the language early on as primitives whether the leaks would go away.
