Wow. That was a fun read, on par, dare I say, with Joel Spolsky before he went into complete business mode. Some of the jabs against Java programmers were a little below the belt, but nonetheless an excellent article.
Here's the real killer. Trolltech is way ahead of this guy. They chose EcmaScript years ago for QSA, and now they have taken it even farther with QtScript.
At my company, we're using QSA (EcmaScript) extensively for run-time macro execution and it's great. The guy who architected our QSA stuff is a long-time Scheme lover, and his QSA code reflects it. It looks fantastic. It has very little boiler plate, and really lets you get down to the business of expressing the algorithm you want to accomplish without a lot of sit-ups. I'm a fan.
