- barrkel 16y agoIt's my position that the question "why are singletons worse than static methods" is ill-formed and implies a dichotomy where there need not be one. Static methods are already instance methods on an implied singleton, whose state consists of static state; except this singleton doesn't have an identity and isn't a value that you can pass around, and so isn't composable, isn't first-class.
- Tichy 16y agoSure, in that sense it is the same. I was thinking about methods without side effects. Then it wouldn't matter if they exist in several instances, I suppose.
