- pjmlp 13y agoThe funny thing is that many like to bash Java's OO model, and in the process forget that Smalltalk, Eiffel, C# and many others offer a similar model.
- astrobe_ 13y agoWhat's really funny is to claim that the Java/C++ model is similar to the Smalltalk model.
- pjmlp 13y agoKind of, yes. You can map instance methods to normal methods in Smalltalk. And static methods to class methods in Smalltalk. Of course, you don't have the dynamism of sending messages, instead of invoking method calls. However given that Smalltalk is the originator of OO and everything is an object, OO critics would feel in prison most likely. :)
- Alphasite_ 13y agoI thought Simula was the originator of OO?
- enobrev 13y agoI truly miss Steve Yegge's rants.
- stopthemadness 13y agoIt's more that Java is hard because naming things is hard and Java forces developers to name lots of things.
