Objects are a big pile of fail

• ryanwaggoner 18y ago
  Let me sum this article up for you: C++ sucks...blah blah blah...Java sucks too...blah blah...every OOP language sucks...blah blah...philosophy crap...blah blah blah. No solutions, just bitching about how everything sucks, wrapped in enough pseudo-intellectual bullshit to drown a mule.

    Except he says that languages should be designed to make it easy for big systems to heal.

  Some of these objections seem dated. For example, accessor method overhead is optimized away now, and has been for a while. I'm not a big fan of Java, but I do use it for work. For the kind of applications we write (large, long-running, thousands of users with lots of state) Java's memory management is one of it's strong points. That's why I'm excited about new languages based on the JVM such as Scala and Clojure.
