The eventual death of email? - Use IM's to replace person to person communication (small instance and long deferred) - Jabber is ripe for that. Also, with an IM protocol, you choose who talks to you, so there's no such thing as the traditional email spam. There may be an authentication request spam attack - but I doubt such a user would be kept on the network for long.

What a disgusting quote. Soon they'll say that object oriented programming started with Java.

I've gotten so shop-a-phobic that I won't even go into a clothing store (hardware stores are OK) unless there is a visible husband's chair near the front door. This does not include stores that specialize in men's clothing -- I won't go into those at all! If my wife doesn't buy me stuff, I'll happily do without. My "wardrobe" is an attrocious mess, and even I know it.

No, Etags don't help. That tells the client whether or not the document (as a whole) is different. So if an Atom feed has a large biniary object in it, every single time the feed gets updated (which may be frequently in the case of a blog), the client has to download the whole thinig again. Only after you get the document do you learn that you've seen the large binary object before.

The point is, Python - like Smalltalk - is not weakly typed. C and C are weakly typed - it's possible (via casting) to get the system to invoke a message on an object that can't handle it, and then crash ugly. In Smalltalk (and, IIRC, in Python as well, and I believe in Ruby) - that's not the case. You will get a well understood exception that can be dealt with easily.

He describes XML as 'Somebody elses problem'. Cute, but SEP is exactly what Loose Coupling is. If you tightly couple something, it's your problem. If you loosely couple something, it's somebody elses problem.
