Still a good read though.

The article is rather heavy on the "historical inevitability" theme (which I thought was dead). There's no guarantee we're not going to switch to some other paradigm, once that paradigm meets the requirements people have for using it.
He didn't seem to think his framework-derivation thing through very much. How does this help to implement parametric polymorphism? It seems to me that if you tried to derive, say, a tree, you'd have an inner class representing the type of the objects in the tree, but if you wanted this class to be an existing class, you're SOL.
I'm pretty sure Python can do this already, though.
