> The fundamental paradigm of OO (object-identity, behavior-based) is not compatible with “reasonability”, and so it will be hard to retrofit existing OO languages to add this quality. This is false, I knew this was false even without reading what he meant by "reasonability" and, upon reading what he meant, I confirmed that it is, indeed, false. Something that I too found odd is the separation between "functional" and... "Mainstream". That got me confused, LISP is over sixty years old and anybody with more than a passing education in computer science knows about it; there are few languages more mainstream than LISP. I just don't understand this flamewar; terrible code in Clojure is no easier to read than terrible code in Python. Conversely, good code in either language is no easier to reason about than good code in the other.
