Gremlin looks quite similar to the language that we built at Tideway, which came from the CORBA Relationship Service. What Gremlin appears to lack is any sort of typing mechanism and, as far as I can see, general purpose graph traversal (find all nodes that I can get to from node (x)). Dunno how important these are to you. Personally, I like strong typing for graphs as otherwise, I've found that the data gets broken at some point and then all sorts of assumptions in the programs fall apart....
