This article addresses GUI design pretty well. But it does nothing about what's below, what actually makes that GUI possible, backend and all that. In that sense, I believe Bret is addressing something on another level entirely, something that _is_ the future, i.e. a dev environment for people who design stuff. Not a failed half-step up from C, like java,lisp, or all the existing programming language. An unbreakable waterproof abstraction that will enable the less skilled to create awesome stuff. Then we will be able to take all the <insert any 1.x levels of abstraction language here, from java to ruby> programmers, and send them to a layer where they belong, instead of leaving them to rot in a system that is both inadequate for speed and inadequate for productivity.
