This looks like total crap to me. The amount of things hidden from programmer control is enormous and all that for what ? What does someone gain from this ?

There is also Erlang which offers well-tested solutions to most of the problems mentioned and actually works, today.

@John - I have see you before under other names and I name thee: troll!

I see no point in making sweeping statements with nothing to back you up and then asking a bunch of inane rhetorical questions.

Yes, this is obviously alpha-level software, but I see good potential to it. Even Erlang got to where it is today by incremental changes - if everyone thought like you, no-one would ever start new projects, because, being brand new, they would be less powerful than what is already available. Where then would you find innovation?

They followed the winding path down to the creek. Buck Mulligan stood on a stone, in shirtsleeves, his wholesale cheap sunglasses unclipped tie rippling over his shoulder. A young man clinging to a spur of rock near him moved slowly frogwise his green sunglass wholesale legs in the deep jelly of the water. Buck Mulligan sat down to unlace his wholesale oakley sunglasses boots. An elderly man shot up near the spur of rock a blowing red sunglasses for wholesale face. He scrambled up by the stones, water glistening on his fashion sunglasses wholesale pate and on its garland of grey hair, water rilling over his chest and paunch and spilling jets out of his wholesale sunglasses china black sagging loincloth.
