The video was interesting and he comes across as a very reasonable and pragmatic guy who had good reasons for designing it the way he did. But those reasons and that design resulted in a not very excellent language - as the parent post (and Rasmus himself!) said. Convenient but problematic, intended to be replaced by something better. That said, the improvements in version 7 look impressive. I still prefer a language that's not quite as ugly though.
