Really? Namespaces? Modules? Interfaces? Every even remotely mainstream language I am aware about has at least two out of these three - you don't find those worthwhile?
So there is lots of great stuff to steal - but not much of it from the mainstream languages - they mostly seem to ape the last generation and then take a little lunge in the direction of Smalltalk.
I must admit I'm not particularly impressed with that overall assessment.
