There's also the fact that IBM owns the language; because of this they can extend it much more quickly than through a full-blown community process, and the results speak volumes. And what you'll see in the next release will simply blow you away. Not one of the other languages being used today, not even my beloved JSP Model 2, has the built-in capabilities for Web 2.0 that EGL has.

It's probably worth noting that this proprietary nature can cut both ways. What can be freely extended can be yanked just as easily.
