Pardon me for that, and I was aware of the undertones, but I still didn't see anything particularly informative, especially provided that you submitted this blog to HN: it is almost a given that everybody here programs to some degree. You did not make a strong case for any of your assertions. You merely asserted.

This is different if your audience is, I dunno, designers, or people wanting to get their feet wet. That is certainly not the case in this forum.

Also, a foreign language takes a lot of time and effort to even just become functional in it. If you are thinking in terms of managing a foreign dev team with your foreign language skills, you're thinking in terms of several years. Not just "in 2009."

Maybe I have a bad temper today, but as you said you have over 10 years of OOP experience, one would expect something jucier.
