I think it has a lot to do with attention span. Watch any typical British Comedy, although littered with occasional quips, the main joke is an episode in the making and delivered with full flourish long after an American audience has switched to another show. There's a reason Benny Hill was popular here!

Yes, but the programmers working on business applications are already wearing suits or at least business casual. They are service programmers not product programmers which, I think, the piece more accurately targets.

The hordes of engineers working on the latest incarnation of BigRetailBankOnline.com do not produce a product, the banks services are its product.

Your example is hideously flawed, why don't you compare creation of a list with creation of a list / vector rather than an if statement. The equivalent lisp (clojure) to your python example

(if (not (nil? object)))

Is very simple to read, even if you hate parens.
