Alan Kay speaks

Bill Clementson's Blog: The Most Important Idea in Computer Science (via Chris Double).

Favorite quote, from Alan Kay: "Java is the most distressing thing to hit computing since MS-DOS." Note that Kay is one of the inventors of Smalltalk.

Update: Phil Windley - Alan Kay: Is Computer Science as Oxymoron? Phil was at the talk and has lots of notes from it. Worth a read. Via Paul Hammond.
