I wouldn't even go that far - to me its OO features look more like they 
were bolted on as an afterthought than forming a foundation but of course 
ymmv.

I got to the stage of writing simple stuff in it but haven't taken it any 
further, partly because its (lack of) backward compatibility between 
language versions looks like an obstacle to long-term program 
maintenance. That said, I like the idea of indentation rather than begin/
end or curly brackets to indicate block structure but am not wild about 
its object structure. I also like the extensive 3rd party libraries, 
though to call the documentation for some 'minimal' is being too kind.
However, I may end up making a bit more use of it since it is the 
recommended development language for the RaspberryPi, though currently I 
prefer to use C.
