I do not see any killer features in it, except for the small size (==
small footprint). On the site, they mentioned couple of interesting
points:
1. Compile time could be (up to) twice less comparing with javac,
2. Execution time could be (up to) 20% more (javac features better
optimization).

So, now I see it as an laternative for those seeking generics and stuff,
and for "embedded" folks ;)
