If we accept the author's argument; then what is the "correct" type of language? Hybrid? A functional-OOP-CES-actor-message-passing language?
In all seriousness I do think there is definitely room for something better than what we have today. I remember a quote saying that "compilers are build for computers, not humans" and I'm starting to agree with that more and more. Our minds are primitive and OOP, functional and threading is simply asking too much of them (proof: all software has bugs). So while the author might have called out OOP and functional in particular I think programming languages as a whole are lacking.
