I've read this article before, it's anecdotal evidence and he's jumping to one-sided conclusions (like "'=' and '==', the only situation where it would have been useful"), not leaving any space for YMMV. I'm not questioning he's a very experienced programmer, but I know this type of highly skilled programmers - they're awesome working on solo projects and you'll be amazed at their nuclear alarm clock with Klingon language recognition, but working with them as a team tends to be an ordeal. I'm >80% sure I'd have to put the guy in this category had I met him.
