This new programming language from Google is quite a buzz on the web now. To be honest, I always got excited about tools that promised to speed-up and simplify development. But most of the time, those trendy tools are just even more time wasters. One language I find to be [almost] ideal is Scala. I believe that Scala will replace Java. Also, writing code for JVM gives you a huge advantage - you can create OSGi bundles. IMO, OSGi framework is the most mature module system. So I think that there's nothing good about this language except that it's created by Google.
