Right :-) That article did read as satire; but then, it is hard to tell what is satire anymore. I can hear people say the things he catalogues in the article; and I might agree with some of them, like the pollution of the window namespace, or the ancient syntax if this is indeed the case.

As I read, I thought, "I'm pretty sure I disagree with this guy" about once per paragraph. I didn't know. Thank you.
