"p2p scripting language" has been around for as long as I've been involved in the project. According to the Internet Archive, http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.erights.org/ http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.erights.org/ , it was added in November 2000.
The web site's approach hasn't really been redesigned in a long time. We're chronically short on people-with-spare-time-to-think-about-this-stuff, especially now that MarkM is working at Google (and previously doing a PhD). I myself don't have much spare time either.
I think Caja definitely has the greatest potential for mainstream adoption of object-capability+event-loop systems right now, but E is still the “designed for capabilities” language for me, and so I use it for most of my personal programming (data munging, generating my packing list, interactive this-and-that, etc) when I can, so that I can feed the experience back into the design/implementation work for E.
