Someday Bray will understand what TCO really is. But he's been such an outspoken opponent that it would be embarrassing to publicly admit he was wrong. I think he'll probably say, TCO can be useful for some programming styles, but most programmers don't notice it's absence so let's just move on to more important topics. I'm looking forward to watching him whitewash his earlier position.
