Why I Don't Care About Your Damn'd Boxed Types
Peter Siebel recently gave a TechTalk at the Google-drome about the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and Programming Languages. It basically describes why programmers have issues understanding the usefulness of language features that aren't found in their language of choice. My language of choice is, of course, Smalltalk. This explains why I don't understand when people go ga-ga over C#. This is a great talk, even though it almost implies that Lisp is the "one, true programming language." Everyone knows that God programs in FORTH. Or rather... knows everyone god FORTH is-relationship? true.Fortunately for us, the good people at Google uploaded a copy of this video to their gigantic server in the sky...
