So which section was that, the one on parametric polymorphism and
higher-order functions, or the one on frameworks?
For my money, I'd say that he probably has an easier sell with the
frameworks concept than with [properly implemented] polymorphism. After
all, the word "patterns" is a big buzzword in industry right now, which
is very close to his notion of frameworks.
