Nice! Usually no one knows that one when I throw it out. I still do about 90% of my development work in Aion.
In its current form, it is even more object-oriented than Java, being that it has no "primitives", and is composed entirely of objects. I think this makes it much easier to work with. It is also based on C like Java, and it has all of the same features, plus an inference engine. Whenever I go back to Java I always struggle for a short while as I re-acquaint myself with all of the low-level work that Java makes you do. (Especially with strings.)
IIRC, Aion got bought by Trinsic, which got bought by Platinum, which got bought by CA. I assume your brother jumped ship somewhere in there.
