Is that the case? The language started out interesting, but it took a turn for the worse and has become a kitchen-sink with every single feature from any language being found in it, but their interactions are simply not designed well. But what innovation did it have? I can’t think of any one feature that would be novel, as in no other mainstream language would have experimented with it.
That said, I think it really was a great language, and there is a sane subset that is still great, don’t want to start a flame war :D
