Very cool stuff. I'm personally more interested in functional languages these days, but there's still a lot that imperative languages have to offer (duh).
As a huge fan of C, I nonetheless am not a huge fan of its syntax, outside of C itself. I'm glad that there are some who have realized that you can do efficient imperative systems programming in a language without curly braces :) Not that that alone is a reason to use the language, but all in all it seems very promising.
Between this, Go, Rust and D, there seems to be an excellent crop of new-breed imperative languages which are simultaneously emphasizing efficiency, safety, ease of use and productivity, to varying degrees. It would be great to see these languages mature into legitimate alternatives to C/C++.
