My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

The article started out interesting but went out of the way at the end.
* Concurrency is a fantasy; After all, computers do one thing at a time Any SMP computer can run program in parallel for real, no need to emulate this.
Lisp/Haskell
At my university we were taught ML(The language that Haskell is based) and not Lisp.
* Prolog? AI? Genetic algorithms? Voice recognition? Agents? .... Who has any clue about them.
I do! And anyone that takes a CS University Degree in any decente university. I had 2 courses with Prolog as main language and artificial inteligence courses as well.
Many of the issues raised in the article don't seem to be from someone with a CS degree and industry experience. But
as someone that says some things about what he think IT is about. Sorry if I'm wrong but that's my impression.
