Judging by your first reaction, that is a possibility, where you 
completely ignored important issues like garbage collection and the pain 
surrounding immutable.

As for the IDE, he mentioned Scala, and there the developers made an 
effort to support the IDE in the compiler so that work wouldn't be 
duplicated and the IDE would support the latest language release. They 
also had funding and hired somebody to work on the Eclipse plugin full time.
