Oh, no doubt it can be designed and implemented as a transparent layer over the existing Java syntax, but there are still drawbacks: 1) The core code would get bigger and so would the JAR file (some things cannot be easily taken out of the core, for example the parser, right?) 2) Implementing 'scripty' features will inherently shift some of the development from other things which I personally consider more important.
