What the author sees as a weakness is what many people here see as a strength: tailoring the language to the application.

I don't think I know enough to agree or disagree with the author, but I'm curious to see what people here have to say.

My bet is that his fear is unfounded. It will play out just like Perl 5: Only smart guys making popular libraries will use the language modification black magic and it won't be a problem.
