In terms of a language, it looks like a horrible step back into the 90s. What we need is the language to be terse, and clean with lots of built-in functional utilities for manipulating data structures and objects/modules/classes/etc. Ideally, take the best bits from ruby/coffeescript/coco/python and couple them with high quality tooling. Many of the most innovative minds are flocking to these languages for good reason.
