In the spirit of this article/book, when I interview people I ask them to have an apple or an orange and judge them entirely based on the fruit they choose.

- jrockway 18y agoI also thought the fixation on Eiffel was odd. Who cares which OO language you choose when you are only worrying about concepts? The reason to use a "real" language would be for its libraries and implementation. For explaining the concepts, it doesn't matter what you use. (Although Java and C++ would be particularly poor choices for explaining OO concepts.) I was pleased to hear Haskell being called mainstream, however. Other than that, I didn't get anything out of this article. It contained some words, but they didn't really make much sense.
- russell 18y agoNo surprise, given that Bertrand Meyer is the author of the chapter under review. He is the father of Eiffel.
- jrockway 18y agoAh, my first sentence was very unclear. I meant to say that I thought it was odd that the blog author made so many comments about Eiffel. I think it's a fine choice for discussing OO, especially if you are the author of the language :)
