Right idea, but bad execution. This could have been a great post had the OA had expanded on his examples instead of just linking to wikipedia. Here is where he failed. We need to ask, who is this article for? Programmers who already understands some of the patterns and paradigms OA touched upon, or newbies. Given he seem to be responding to a new programmer, it would have been more effective if OA had displayed the C# implementation vs. python, at least for a few of the more interesting examples. On a personal perspective, the first language I thought myself was BASIC. Remember line numbers and goto? I later learned enough C to understand how things work behind the scene. So I personally like the high-level first approach, especially python. It's like a swiss army knife.
