He then proceeds to list 8 OOP mutable languages and one functional immutable language (Haskell). FFS.
I hate to relay the news to the OOP zealots but (having spent decades in OOP/procedural and about 3 years in Elixir) the future of reliable software is in functional languages with immutable data and, ideally, process supervision and massive concurrency (due to the breakdown of Moore's Law). The only language that does all this handily is the BEAM VM (via Erlang and Elixir) and possibly Haskell.
