Designing Erlang is an impressive accomplishment as computing goes. I don't know why you insist Armstrong is a dilettante without any basis.

- Uchikoma 14y ago(as a side note, your argument does not make logical sense. Designing A does not make me an expert in B.) I do not "insist" that he is a "dilettante", I question people on this thread quoting him as an expert on OO as there without showing that he is an expert on OO. Beside I give circumstantial evidence why he isn't ("Tried Java ...", "Threw C++ book at the wall ..."). I think it's important to differentiate strong opinion from expert. And there are more indications: His understanding of "isolation" in the quoted text above is very influenced by him being the Erlang creator and the way Erlang thinks of isolation (processes). None of the (C++/Java/Ruby) OO programmers I know would use "isolation" in an OO context that sense (one error crashing other programs in the same VM).
