Very confusing to read the article labelled as 1998 and have references for newer stuff (e.g. Ratatouile). The biggest one for me is to recommend a bunch of 98-propiate languages (C++) and then recommend Go! I guess that the article has been slightly updated, but it felt weird. In another language I checked the references are older.

The copyright notice in the footer has the year range 2001-2014. Presumably the timespan that the essay went through various edits.
