Partitions, partition tables, encryption of drives/partitions, and drive upgrades.
On the language side. A C++ emulator (Because of the whole virtual space thing) and Python would be fun.

partitions are added complexity for the sake of complexity
encryption is possible already
other languages could be fun, but will be very difficult for dan200 to implement

I agree with Lupus590, this mod was made for fun but relatively simple computer programming in Minecraft.
This would add tons of complexity with not that much benefit to the end user.
What I would like to see is a working
file.seek(n)
function, so you don't always have to keep the file contents in RAM.

Ok.

Also, C++ and Python would be incredibly difficult to implement into the mod in a safe and useful way, and can already be emulated to some extent (see the JVML-JIT project)

As far as languages go, you can always write a compiler that compiles to Lua. Or if you don't care about speed, you could even write an interpreter.
