The article is not that old, you know (May 2014).
I recall when Scala came out, somebody published[1] a
"intro/review" on Scala where he said "Scala is Haskell on JVM";
poor feller didn't know none of Scala, Haskell and OCaml.
The cost of publishing something online is almost 0. This
invites people with little to no knowledge and experience to pour
out superficially done "reviews" in large quantities into
Google's brain.
There are people (easy to find on Twitter) who brag about writing
one technical review/introduction each day; this is almost
impossible if done correctly.
I wouldn't take any of the online reviews seriously unless with a
huge pile of rough grained salts :-)
[1] I can't find the link. I should be thankful I suppose.
