Now people can rewrite the entire OS in "normal" C++ without all the awkward stuff like Active Objects, 10000 kinds of string "descriptors", CleanupStack and the weird API.
A single whack is not good enough. Repetition is very important. There has to be multiple severe whacks before everyone understands what's trully going on in this world. The implications of the Hubbert Peak on oil production is going to give us the opportunity for an enormous reality check. (i.e. we might want to care a little bit more about the fundamental things on which our society is build upon and change our way of life such that we live more in harmony with nature.)
Well, I think that don't have to be concerned about global warming.
Conversation 50 years from now:
Your kid: Hey! Did you knew that people of my dad's generation where really concerned about Global Warming? Friend: Yeah? Why? Your kid: Because they thought that Global Warming could cause floods! Friend: Wow! Did he also tell you what was causing Global Warming? Your kid: Yeah! He told me that 50 years ago people drove their cars so much that mother Nature couldn't handle all the bad gases the cars emitted! Friend: Wow! Well, I'm happy that no one has droven cars for DECADES!! I think that we're saved for now! Your kid: What's a car, anyway??
