It's so cool when you stumble over an article and after reading the first pararaph or so you just stop because there's something so bad right there that just kills any chance of actual quality in the rest. Only on DZone. Here's this guy's gem:

"The spec has even a chapter on factories (static constructors). (Oh my, factories? it's like 1997 and design patterns all over again!) I should note that the integration of popular design patterns at the syntax level is disappointing"

Really? Design patterns are now bad? How about the fact that it uses actual english words for commands? Is that gonna be passé as well? Do you want a language that you write in crayon, with the "R" reversed?
