Bob Martin's argument is not credible, though. He cherry-picks his example
languages, and the attributes from those languages. He ignores the troubles
with concurrency, and the future needs for
That talk would have been a whole lot better if he had grounded it
with a discussion of how constraints are good for creativity. It's how
he should have spent the time where he went on about memorizing Pi for
no good reason...
