BTW, I'm just being a messenger here - I got this link off Twitter and thought it'd be of relevance here.
I can't muster much enthusiasm for the initiative myself. My gut reaction is "oh no, as if we needed one more", and I winced at the blog post which said "the most important thing in a new language is that you can println 'Hello world'". I can't find any evidence of design thinking that strives to achieve the lofty objectives set out in the PDF paper.

But I'm looking forward to the discussion :)
