Hindsight? There are many of us that have been advocating against the async/await madness.
I said it before and I will say it again. Async is today what OOP used to be in the nineties.
- kjeetgill 4y agoOOP isn't that bad in moderation! My personal proprietary blend looks like 5%/20%/35%/40% declarative/functional/OOP/imperative these days. I'm definitely wary of letting too much functional or OOP zealotry. I try to avoid all the monad/applicative/functor stuff and too many abstract base classes, excessive interface indirection. But I am a Java pleb.
- zmmmmm 4y agoOOP is bad in the way that many magnificently successful things are bad. People only work up the energy to fully critique things when they are so pervasive and ubiquitous. At which point they are entirely associated with their flaws and none of their positive attributes which are all treated as orthodoxy.
