Are you serious? This is the most buzz word laden, obscure fluff piece I have read since 99.

"described as a general purpose, component-based language for building high-performance software with high programmer productivity"

"Fortress is intended to be a growable language that can be extended and applied in new and unanticipated contexts."

You've got to be kidding.

For the record, my comment is solely based on the link. I don't know anything about this language, maybe it is sweet. If there is actual documentation out there to get excited about I'd like to hear about it. But that link was total press release bull.

Well I dunno, it's just something new released by the ppl who made java. But I guess I don't program in fortran or do crazy math stuff, so maybe it won't be that useful to me.
