Message is clear, as I think is its significance. It makes sense to formulate meaningful scientific ideas
within Gromov's language if by doing so general results obtained within his system have some
consequences for the ideas in question. Otherwise not. Rather like category theory in this respect.
It's rarely done by scientists, or by mathematicians for that matter, because the condition is so
difficult to satisfy. If it is satisfied, everyone applauds. In the language case there isn't even a hint as
to how formulation in these terms would achieve more than obfuscation.

gromov quote
Yet, I hope that I managed to convey the message: the mathematical language developed by
the end of the 20th century by far exceeds in its expressive power anything even imaginable,
say, before 1960. Any meaningful idea coming from science can be fully developed in this
language.
