worse is better?

Here's a very intriguing article about programming languages called
Worse Is Better
that was originally published back in 1991 and
compares the Lisp approach with the approach that brought us C and
UNIX. Very interesting, IMHO, to see where REBOL might fit in to this
theory. Any article that made such an accurate prediction of the
future as this:
The good news is that in 1995 we will have a good operating system and
programming language; the bad news is that they will be Unix and C++.
deserves to be (re-)read. :) Nearly 10 years later, how have we
progressed.. or have we progressed? Enjoy!
