I played around with e a lot back in the day. There were a lot of really interesting ideas in it.<p>If you're in to capability security check out the Cap-Talk mailing list: <a href="http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-talk" rel="nofollow">http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-talk</a>
For whatever reason, the E language's actor model was the most influential on IMVU's concurrent programming model (in Python). I highly recommend taking a glance through the language description.
Hmmm.... when did the "p2p scripting language" tag get added to the general description? Ever chasing salvos when it comes to fads it seems. While E is/was pretty cool, the mental overhead required to jump to it from Java (given the general pool of java coders) seems to have been too high of a hurdle for any sort of critical mass to develop. I have higher hopes for Caja (the capability-security enhanced javascript that markm and a couple of others in this area are working on at Google.)
