Umm... no.

If you think that what they have there is "the future of programming" then you are sadly mistaken. That is not the future of much at all. The last thing any programmer wants is for some tool to be doing translation from one language to another. Especially translation from a strongly typed, compiled (mostly; Java is certainly not a dynamic language) language to a weakly typed, interpreted language.

I would suggest that you spend some time working a a few sifferent languages to get a feel for them, especially some dynamic languages (Perl is an excellent start) as well as some compiled languages (C++ or Pascal would be good) to get an idea of the differences.

I know that you heart Google. This is OK. I shoplifted once. We all have done Bad Things. But to cheer this kind of garbage on, when it is utter junk, just hurts your credibility.
