Just a passing comment...

There is a psychological theory, the author of which I can't remember at
the moment, which says the first language you learn, or become fluent
in, dramatically controls the thoughts you can have.  In watching
the recent interchanges, I wonder if there is evidence supporting
this for Operating Systems (Tenex, for example) and Programming
Languages (C, for instance).  The flames both ways are interesting
to watch, so I won't jump in just now, but it might be interesting
for people to reflect on their opinions and attempt to understand 
their biases.  The whole world is not Vaxen, 68000's, or even KL20's.
