It seems more to me to be an academic exercise in compiler complexity that has been wrapped in a shell of "lookit! Java++" as a play for industry acceptance. I haven't been working with it for long, but I feel that there's a lot of interesting stuff that has become unusably complex because of the design decision to support toll-free Java interop. That makes me nervous.
