I don't really understand why people would want a GC over deterministic destruction like in Rust. GC is [neither necessary nor sufficient]( https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2015/10/06/neither-necessary-no... )

They won't tear down anything. But there will be more and more systems that were built using newer things, some which we consider cutting edge right now. Some companies will get acquired, some will go bankrupt and their old systems dep

Except for stuff like "trusting trust", I find no need for "multiple vendors of Rust toolchains". It only comes handy when the language itself is not truly open source, and is in itself a form of a product. Building on t

Personally, I call that "Actors", not "Objects". In my experience OOP in practice means: objects, classes, inheritance, class hierarchies, despite the original intention (think Smalltalk-like).

I am a Rust fanboy, and I can't see anything worthwhile in this article. I joke that any love-story about Rust will get you to a front page of HN. Yeah, Rust is awesome, and many people love it, but it is a bit ridiculous.

The important part is - the way you represent the data matters a lot, and almost any representation will make more sense than bunch of "objects" scattered around.

GUI programming is used as an example every time someone is praising OOP. And it seems the only time where there is some merit behind using OOP. Chess game would be a good example of what to never do with OOP. If you start with `class Pawn

Exactly. And because of that basic business incentives no matter how fast the hardware gets, we will always have software that is just fast enough to be barely bearable, but not a notch faster. That's why I'm depressed ;).

I enjoyed your comment. I agree with your reasons, though I don't think they are complete. I am not an expert on academia and I don't claim to be, so I have no solutions. I can just see the parallels and the general mechanisms. I

I share the sentiment. While the tech is getting faster and faster, our typical ways of handling data are getting worse and worse, eliminating all the gains. Devs are just tolerating slower languages, tools, architectures, methodologies etc
