Nothing exists in a vacuum. Same here, and you could rank these "tribes" by relevance: #3 as thoroughly intertwined with the real world, #2 as useful but mostly disconnected, and #1 as irrelevant for everyone but themselves (and ironically, holding themselves in the highest regard).
This almost reads like stages of individual maturity -- from "only aware of self", through "able to manipulate the outside world to reach goals", to "aware of and collaborating with others for common good".
- recursive 6y agoI'm firmly in the #1 camp but I have plenty of respect for people that can actually get useful things done.
- BossingAround 6y agoI am quite firmly in the #3 camp and I have a lot of respect for #1.
- BossingAround 6y ago> #1 as irrelevant for everyone but themselves I assume you then don't use the following features? - GC - Generics - Higher-order functions - Recursion - Static scope (oh man) - Type inference - Lambdas, closures, ... Take a look at [1] to see why FP might be useful. You'll be surprised how many interesting features they have, and will want some of those in your current OOP-focused language too [1] https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages/ https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages/
