My main beef with this genre of article is that code is for humans, and if you don't think humans like nouns, bring an object to work that nobody there has every seen, and count how many people ask what it is before they ask what it does.

For many people, that kingdom of nouns lives in their brains. I'm not saying I agree with this entirely. I don't even think I'm saying we shouldn't fight it - I certainly have felt the pain of people wanting to pigeonhole me at work by noun instead of looking at what verbs I'm capable of.

But it's out there, and you don't have to look very hard to find it.
