I read that earlier today. They don't seem to have much in the way of 
implementation (and thus in experience with using in practice).

SwiftScript programs don't seem to be getting much in the way of 
complexity expressionwise which would be something that might cause 
versioning and namespaces to take a higher priority; and I don't think 
their linear version model really fits in with the actual diversity of 
applications that appear in real life (which is also what I think about 
using linear versions in VDL).
