In the rare cases I would ever downvote something, this would be the case. This is just complete snark, that misunderstands the general thesis of the article (intentionally?). Having a core language writer on your team by no means implies that the language in itself is unusable without the designer himself. Your comment explicitly mentions this, and you could really generalise this to any language at all. The fact that they hired a haskell contributor over a PHP or Ruby contributor was perhaps something you should consider. Or, you know, you read the article, where they answer some of these basic assumptions.
