The syntax was interesting, but I believe it was a mistake to narrow it down to a graphics DSL and targeting Applet 2.0. If they had generalized the language and pushed it as a much needed revolutionary step a la Java Next Gen, then I believe the Java space would've looked very different today and, for one thing, we would not see a fragmentation of mainstream (corporate) developers and elite (alpha- geeks) as with Scala.
