I object to his list, which assumes RR has "invented" a new language, and to
most of his critique which doesn't appear to understand it. You could point out that the
language was actually invented by Apple Computer, and at its peak had millions of users,
dozens of printed books, its own forums on several online services, and produced
thousands of utilities and programs over the years. Some were better than others, but
that was because the language was so easy that children wrote with it, but also so
sophisticated that programmers produced award-winning products. When Apple discontinued
support, the language lived on in via a third-party port to Linux, and was eventually
taken up by RunRev, expanded tremendously, and is now extremely powerful under a
deceptively simple syntax.
