Most of the discussion is about the rather secondary topic of function length, but the actual article is much more indepth. I love the dissection of the render method (which is in fact, only 4 lines long): So... imagine that someone enters a kitchen, because they want to show you how to make a cup of coffee. As you watch carefully, they flick a switch on the wall. The switch looks like a light switch, but none of the lights in the kitchen turn on or off. Next, they open a cabinet and take down a mug, set it on the worktop, and then tap it twice with a teaspoon. They wait for thirty seconds, and finally they reach behind the refrigerator, where you can't see, and pull out a different mug, this one full of fresh coffee. Worth a read for the instructive value of the critique - whether you agree with either point of view, much is to be learned in the "space" between different viewpoints.
