A lot of developers I have worked with cannot bridge the gap between their toolset and good concepts that exist just outside of their current framework. Nice post.

I'm a C# programmer who's pretty enamored at the moment with some of Ruby's abstractions. Excellent post, Jeff.

It didn't take long before I was leaving little commented out one liners of Smalltalk in my C# code that'd be 8 to 10 lines or more to do exactly the same thing that little one liner did.
