You need to make languages fast on both dimensions, static and dynamic. A dynamically typed language can only be optimized in one dimension, which is why they usually trail behind statically typed languages in…
I sympathize with the author's dislike for C++ and while you can't argue that dynamic languages "could" at some point in the future be faster than C++, it's very unlikely to happen since one of the requirements for this…
As was pointed above, I'm not opposed to fluent interfaces and we use quite a few at my work (Google). I was just observing that you can't argue against mutators and then encourage people to use fluent interfaces since…
