Wow guys. Google is not aiming at a next gen Haskell or ML. They are trying to create a less cluttered Java and a stricter, more performant Javascript. Judge a solution in context of the problem it is trying to solve. If they got Simon Peyton Jones to design this it would be somewhat intimidating for your average webdev[no disrespect].
I'm somewhat disappointed that they insist on a 90's C syntax. It's like Python/Ruby/Coffeescript never existed.
C'mon Google, you can do way better...

How many blog posts about Perlis languages have we seen in the past several months? Reading these comments I've come across the words: boring, uninspired, underwhelmed... I couldn't agree more. JavaScript's prototypal object model can at least keep my attention.
