I thought this talk focused on history a little too long but really enjoyed it. I've toyed with the idea of making a language (probably never will) and it really made me reconsider what I consider important in a language. "Stop writing dead programs." The parts I remember sticking out were calling a lot of things cargo cult mentality that I had never viewed as that before. I don't necessarily agree with everything but it was a fresh and well organized perspective.
