Author here, FWIW this article was one of many posts some colleagues and I wrote at Pivotal during a "blog writing tontine" to encourage us all to write more and develop our skills, written hastily and intended to be part of a series I didn't finish before leaving.

My intention was to point readers to some of the good ideas that were emerging (more accurately: had emerged some time ago) from alternative paradigms and how they could be used to make OOP programs better. Agreed that its certainly more about the team than what syntax you use to push bytes around, but tools do matter.
