It's got all the power of JavaScript (which, in addition to its monopoly on browser scripting, is now a respectable server-side language thanks to Node.js et al.), it's very new (first source push was in December), and the syntax is just beautiful—even nicer than Python's, in my opinion. I've been totally thrilled since I've started playing with it, and I'm using it for some serious browser-based projects.
