I had the same impression.

At one point, the author claimed that XML was the next due
abstraction. At that moment, the text looked as if it tried to suggest
that all future programming would be done in XML. I wonder where that
may lead, what with XML not being a programming language and with no
"good" languages available for processing it.

Maybe I have missed a point in the article, but I haven't found the
spot where the author actually states what languages are, in his
opinion, the ones available for processing documents and streams. That
is, which languages express the transformations?

Ah, no offence intended, but I'd rather not go personal on him.

All the best,
