- e12e 12y agoYes. I'm not sure if describing that as the "Verb World" is strangely accurate, or just strange ... should we adopt it as another term for immerse object-oriented, programmable, mediated, augmented and virtual reality? It has a nice ring to it: Come join us in the Verb World.
- lnanek2 12y agoJava and OOP in general are already famous for being made fun of as the Kingdom of Nouns. So it would be funny to call something built with the Kingdom of Nouns as Verb World, lol.
- e12e 12y agoI was thinking more along the lines of smalltalk/croquet, and the Alan Kay quote/talk "Doing with images makes symbols". But yeah, if all you have are nouns, great lack of verbing also.
