A bad entity::life form::mammal::human::adult::craftsman blames his IUsable I do think he will fall out of love with functional programming too because sometimes writing software isn't just about making something that works but rather making something that explains.

Yeah, but they know where to kick it to make it work ;)

He forgot to mention that functional programming has its own weaknesses as well. In some regards, it just gives you the opposite of object-oriented programming. For example, in the object-oriented world, you deal with a closed set of functions over an open set of objects, and in the functional world, you deal with an open set of functions over a closed set of objects. The triangle problem, at least the example he gave, is not a problem at all if you realize that a copier is really just a container of a scanner and a printer that delegates both to make it work correctly (first scan, then print). This is not an inheritance problem, even if multiple inheritance was possible it wouldn't be logical to use it here. Both object-oriented and functional programming are powerful ways to solve problems - if done right, you don't have to blame one and abandon it for the other. But I guess it seems to be en vogue to make a fuss about the old way and glorify the new way.

Nah, a good craftsman just uses the correct, quality tools, and cares for them.

This was posted recently? These are concerns devs have had with OOP for 2 decades if not more. Inheritance? That's why we prefer composition thees days. Encapsulation? His example is just a poorly thought-out architecture. Polymorphism? Arguably the strongest reason to use OOP, and he doesn't even address it. Blaming the tool indeed.

How about a veggie shark or a flying ant. You could do that in OOP. Wouldn't you ? :)

Recently seen a few articles like this; all show a tremendous ignorance of OOP and then set up massive straw men to make their point. Which is? Since the articles seem like retreads of each other, I wonder if someone is about to present Yet Another Perfect Computer Language to the world.

I don't get it - it's too abstract for me. /ravi

I see a pattern here.
