    He's also got an amazing series on his blog about concurrent programming languages, called Concur.next. If you're a language and tooling geek, it's pure gold. http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/09/27/Concur-dot-next http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/09/27/Concur-dot... Mr. Bray is also notable for having one of the most amazing and intelligent 'comments' sections I've ever seen on a blog. Good reading.
