I don't think I've ever seen any purported examples of the expressiveness and flexibility of prototype-based OO where the advantage actually comes from being prototype based rather than class based. Rather, the flexibility comes f

"It's not practical to define a separate class for every query." I'm not sure it's really impractical, at least in my experience. You may not need a separate type for every query, as long as you are willing to hav

I think you may be conflating two things here: C#/Java/etc style static OO vs Smalltalk/Python/etc dynamic OO, on the one hand, and class-based vs. prototype based OO, on the other. IMO most of the good bits of JavaScrip

The magic is in all the code that interprets those annotations. So you have to understand a large and complex framework to understand which objects are being injected (in Spring, for example, you have to keep in mind the rules about which b

Luckily, with modern dependency injection frameworks wrapping every object in layers of generated proxies, it's now impossible to understand it in the debugger, too.

The custom query language I find most annoying (possibly just because it's the one I deal with the most), is JPQL, the query language of the Java Persistence Architecture. JPA explicitly targets relational databases, so there's no

This is a pretty frustrating read. Interpretability of automatic decision making processes is a genuine, important issue, but I'm not sure this issue is best explained by a writer who, as far as I can tell, has made no effort to unders

I think a better example to show why you might want a ?. operator would involve nested lookups. If you have something like node.child.attribute.value, handling potential Nones at each lookup with ifs would get very verbose very quickly (and
