  Looks like fun, really. I never actually checked out many of his projects. Oh well, can't do everything.

    It did heavily influence CoffeeScript, so there's that.

    The language was (is) pretty cool. I really liked the idea of scoped mixins, that would have allowed to extend any object locally (like, say, add unit conversion methods to numbers), without polluting the whole program. It was never implemented AFAIK.
