It has half a dozen implementations each of which runs an order of magnitude faster than your favorite high-level dynamic language.

It's not a bad language, but it's nothing fantastic either.
The Java-ish parts are particularly bad. Not because Java is bad, but because they don't really fit the language.

What
>>14 said. The language itself isn't too bad but the way everything around it is designed is a huge pain in the ass.
