Anyone watched it already? What do you think?

Quite an origial idea, while at the same time it looks partially 
self-defeating in terms of defending C++ (against competition 
from Rust, which seems to be the motivation).

I'm particularly surprised (to be honest, put off) by Herb's 
choice to make declarations in this new language of his 
unnecessarily different from C++ in order to make them look like 
Rust.
