Martin Fowler on OOPSLA.

• info about what pieces of the Go F Pattern Language are hated by many people

• interesting bit on Alan Kay - Brian Marick said in the Microsoft Research world, we're observers, Consumer-s, secondary participants in an experience someone else has constructed for us. In Alan Kay's vision, we're actors in a world that's actively out there asking us to change it. (Brian also notes Ward Cunningham's talk. 2004-10-28-CunninghamOopslaSystemOfNames)
