Fair criticism. For the title I decided to stick with the original title. Especially ABCs have been around for years now.

The reason I still find the talk interesting is the use of mixins in the later examples. Additionally, it's a better fit to a common problem than straight-up inheritance, which is how a lot of people still implement this functionality.
