"inspired by Io, Smalltalk, Lisp and Ruby. " -- Nice, but is it just me, or it seems that almost all these new languages are "inspired by Smalltalk". They all look very similiar, with only some syntax differences between them. The truth is that they probably will just remain niche, or go nowhere. They are usually born from small frustrations with some syntax of their preferred language. I'd love to see more languages that are NOT inspired by Smalltalk, or something that is already there. Maybe to create something really really useful, you have to break a paradigm or two.
