Exhibit A: Revenge of the Nerds.
Exhibit B: Achewood (in no way Paul Graham-related but delightful, nonetheless)
Did anyone else find it interesting that many of the languages Paul Graham mentions in his article seem to be those whose inefficiency is often considered as one of their primary disadvantages (Python, Ruby, Lisp, Smalltalk)? I assume that this is at least in part due to the fact that these less-used languages can speed up the coding process itself by providing enhanced writability. But I guess a lot of computing tasks don't really demand the efficiency of C/C++/Java to begin with.
In other news, C++ still scares me.
