To be fair, not all people who use OO languages 'gets' it. They still get things done (there are a lot of simple things in the market) and although their works are not in the excellant range, it is good enough and they do come by much cheaper.
When resources are cheap, things get less risky in a way since people are much more easily replaceable.
Now, I do not condone or even like to work at those kind of places, but that is just the reality in most places.
- cageface 15y agoA huge amount of code gets slapped together by mediocre programmers but still serves a useful business purpose. I think we should be trying to design languages that are accessible to people like that but less cumbersome to more skilled developers. Scala was intended to be such a language but I think it has unfortunately overshot its goal. I have high hopes for Jetbrains' Kotlin project. Even though I don't do any JVM development at the moment if Kotlin turns out to be a good Android language I might pick it up just for the pleasure of programming in such a nice environment.
