Does it matter that McCarthy won the Turing Award before Alan Kay? What a silly point.

Is it awful that functions are black boxes? That they are bundled in libraries?

Does it matter that for loops don't leave a stack trace? How can poor programmers debug them w/o a stack trace?

Can you imagine that overriding a method completely changes what a bundle of methods does in a class?

It is so sad that every time a new idea comes out, the "resistance" (programmers who often lack experience with it or experienced an inferior implementation of the idea) are the loudest to complain and hold sw dev back.
