I like the speediness of the language. The OOP could be a little tightier, but, it is an excellent example of an object oriented version of the BASIC programming language none the less.

The lack of Method overloading is (IMHO) a terrible oversite. I use it all the time in C# it's quite handy. Also, interfaces would be a nice to have, but not necessary (we have the Abstract modifier that almost acts like an interface.

Overall, I love the language for it's the expandability, and speed. Who needs DLL's anyway? Modules work just fine. I also wish it had thread safe multi-threading, but there are ways around that as well.

OH! Let's not forget about the cross platform compatability. I own a Mac and a PC and I love the fact that the source code can be edited on either box.
