That is indeed a very interesting document. About half of the points
apply equally well to the Isabelle code base. For example:
We obsessively refactor while adding new code, keeping the code base as
fresh as possible.
Later there are more explanations how the ultra strong type-discipline of
Haskell helps in the process.
Compared to that, the code base of Java SE is just one big bog of legacy
code. For me, the historical argument if OO-programming has significant
solutions to the perpetual "software crisis" is over.
