The only attractive features really are its declarative event system and how it interacts with simple network and gui features. Adding those features to better language is a more attractive proposal in my eyes. In fact, if my hands weren't broken, I'd be working on that myself.

PS: sorry for bringing up such an old topic but I hope someone reads my opinion on this (still) current discussion about to use simple languages for complex tasks
