Who would have thought that OOP could be useful!

• vkazanov 2y ago
  This is not oop but polymorphism that is useful. And various forms of polymorphism are used in all kinds of programming paradigms. Also, this is a nice way to get the damn banana without getting lost in the jungle.
  • jcelerier 2y ago
    polymorphism used that way is 100% the most traditional OOP possible ever
    • vkazanov 2y ago
      Yes, a similar approach to polymorhpism is supertypical for popular OOP-focused languages, along with other concepts.

    isnt polymorphism inherently a subset of oop?
    • vkazanov 2y ago
      No, all popular functional languages have one flavour of polymorphism or the other. Or, in math speak, Oop means polymorphism but polymorphism doesn't mean oop.
