In context, something like: Julia won't take over because someone will make a sufficiently performant JIT for Python ? (Name dropping ancient language implementations was confusing to me, and I'm ancient.)

A selective quotation which misses the point. "Actually I made up the term "object-oriented", and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. The important thing here is that I have many of the same feelings about Smalltalk.&q

Both links reference the same source material — "Table 16: Side-by-Side Comparison of function points and lines of code metrics" Seems like a comparison of Smalltalk using an IDE and Java using Notepad? Not really credible is it.
