"Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function." – John Carmack
Unfortunately, many college-educated programmers have been taught OOP design ideology and profess it uncritically.
- kaba0 4y agoMany content on that website is straight up ridiculous claiming shit like gcc, any format, everything more complex than a rock basically is harmful, so I’m not sure it helps your case. But I can agree with the Carmack quote, but that in itself doesn’t contradict OOP’s supposed benefits.
