Google to announce "new programming language for structured web programming" 
I know this sounds a little coarse, but I really don't care about yet another new programming language.  There are too many already with so many distinct use cases and niches.<p>I think a simple, general purpose programming language is good enough(1) for the web and I'd rather have one tool for all jobs versus another edge case language.  In fact I'd rather have someone concentrate on one good "multi-tool" than provide me with a hundreds of cheap short-lived screwdrivers with different shaped heads.<p>Innovation should be about making the status-quo better, not introducing a new status-quo every 5 minutes with new promises.<p>(1) - "Good enough" is an under-used term these days.
