Also, there's merit in what he says about language development. A lot of the really nice languages are developed in the open.


Not sure what's optimistic about it. Those features are there. You don't need to wait for them because they were easy to implement from w/in the language itself. Same way you traditionally build libraries.

All those companies are moving their languages and libraries at an incredibly slow pace and will continue to do so (since their languages don't really give them any alternatives). Nothing pessimistic about that. They are large companies with little room for flexibility.
