Wow.. SCRUM is **horrible**...

Scrum is great for weekly release cycles in e-business Zend or Rails shops that feel the need to tweak the user experience in step with the customer's attention span. Scrum is obsessive compulsive disorder for the enterprise. Luckily, scrum wasn't in vogue when packet switching was invented at DARPA or the World Wide Web was invented by TBL at CERN or the mouse pointer, Ethernet, the laser printer, the GUI, software components and exception handling (among other things) were invented at Xerox PARC and lucky scrum wasn't around when Linus Torvalds started work on Linux or Bjarne Stroustrup on on C++ or Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie on UNIX and C or John McCarthy on LISP or Guido van Rossum on Python or Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts on neural networks or Alan bleeding Turing on general computation or John von Neumann on the things wot do it because... ...NONE OF THESE THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY A SCRUM.
SCRUM is basically for client relations to keep clients in check. For innovations, Release Cycles do not work, but rather take away from the functionality of the task at hand. I don't think SCRUM would be effective if the company was not doing clients and should however be pushing its product to the market. SCRUM doesn't apply in that term.

Well, I guess you could say that as V8 is implemented in C++ that's already been done, but I don't think that counts as a dynamic language.
name me something that isn't implemented in C/C++... I mean, yes ok, but the irony is that people are like, oh language X is so much more [adjective] than C, but you have to ask where did language X come from? maybe somebody wrote it in assembler or soldered it together out of logic chips, but the chances are higher that they wrote it in C or C++!
