I've just been looking at it. I'm impressed so far. I haven't run it yet (I've yet to mess around with it enough to get it compiling on FreeBSD), but reading through the docs is enlightening. Their approach to safe memory management (with minimal garbage collection) is really impressive. And I just like the idea of having an almost-C that's pretty security-conscious.
