You mean buzzwords aren't enough?!! ;-)

I am surprised this got onto the jvmlang conference agenda at this stage of its implementation. Lots of announced buzzword-y goals and very little code.

The blurb (In the absence of substantial code samples the blurb is all one has to go by) sounds like it is a language encoding "best practices" - all very nice and enterprisey.

It will be interesting to watch the progress or otherwise of this language

One goal of the summit is for implementors (of languages and/or runtimes) to have a chance to talk through issues so it fits in with the conference just fine. The hype in the article is the problem.
