Good catch, thank you! All I can say is that when I quote other people to support my argument, people assume I support the words I am quoting unless I explicitly argue with them. He(?) quoted them, I'm ok with questioning them in the context of the rest of his post. I disagree with the premise that reading a few chapters of a book and writing a crappy web site makes you an expert on anything, AI, DSLs, Ruby, whatever. Those are the words I took issue with. If you write for clarity rather than popularity (as I do), then I withdraw the suggestion of smuggery and suggest instead that those specific words are simply wrong. If you want to stand by them, that's your privilege, we can agree to disagree. I agree with your statement I am not sure how anything I said fits into this Java-bank-interview vs Haskell-bank-interview discussion. I'm not sure either.
