What the hell??? Didn't they come out with programming language last week already or some such? I don't see the point exactly. I mean I can learn it, but then what? It's not going to be installed anywhere where I can do work, it's not going to have any third party libraries, it's not going be be supported by any decent editor for a while (I use vi, throw your rocks).
Google: what is the point? First it's browser plugins, then browsers, then two OS's, now programming languages? How about a nice new processor architecture a la PowerPC? It's better and faster you know. Maybe they'll also invent new people to be their user base. I can imagine that intro video: "Welcome to GPeople - the new Google interaction experience. When you interact with a GPerson you don't need to talk. They already know what you are thinking and will insert relevant advertisement into their conversation with you. The advertisement will be unobtrusive and will target your innermost fears..."

- rikthevik 17y agoGoogle has a ton of really smart people using their 20% time on projects they find interesting. I think they've shown great restraint in what they release publicly. I'm sure there's a ton of very cool new things being worked upon in the company.
