With a bit of practice, the intent of "the last expression is the one you return" is clear enough. That's not a problem I think. The problem is how to encode early returns in that context.

Your problem is that you tried to argue that the original definition of OOP is not "helpful", because mainstream languages implement synchronous messaging. And to you synchronous messaging is not messaging. However (1) synchronous

I'm tired of this completely wrong argument. - Encryption doesn't stop law enforcement from having backdoors at key servers, and they do. - Also we're discussing a financial transaction instrument, which REQUIRES MASS for it

That's the whole point. They're illegal/immoral, but decentralization means you can't mitigate them despite that. Tell me when is the last time a drug dealer used a wire transfer with reason "for the cocain"? O

How about you phrase your statements with intellectual honesty, instead of wasting my time having to explain this is not a case of "corporations locking down other people's devices" but it's a case of "you bought th

True decentralization means you don't get to complain when Bitcoin is used to do everything you hate. You don't get to complain when honest people lose cumulatively billions of their hard earned savings to scammers and hackers. Yo

I'm not sure what the distinction is. Mainstream languages like Java have taken a subset of OOP because that's the subset they needed when they were being defined initially. But we're slowly evolving towards a concurrent asyn

I don’t get what I want. I want Apple to control their ecosystem. It significantly altered the iPhone experience for the better imho and this is why I buy the products. A store in a store is like a country in a country. I declare myself a c

Languages aren’t paradigms of thinking. We borrow phrases and concept from each other at a higher level, they’re basically identical, unless you’re isolated on an island and don’t interact with anyone. For proof, look up the etymology of a

I don’t work at Apple, do your own research. Also maybe next time do that research before buying a device and then complaining it doesn’t do what it never said it does.

You can do whatever you want with your phone already. As I said you don’t own iOS. Install your own OS.

You’re making a category error. A car’s ecosystem is the road system. Roads don’t let you anywhere, there has to be a road there. Sometimes a paid one.

You own a phone yes. But you don’t own iOS. So take your own phone and install your own OS on it if that’s what you want.

iOS is. It's a software and a set of associated services and apps provided to you under a license. If you wanna install your own OS, you can set up your own App Store.

"Gamers" represent a tiny percent of the game-playing public. If Epic needs to rely on "gamers" they'd go bankrupt. Also I like how all of those theories just sit in vacuum, as if we're not going through a majo

I was asking a question. (1) That we define what we mean, so... (2) We can analyze the impact. Here I'm going to do it again. What does it mean "30% store cut is illegally anti-competetive". What does that even mean? Why isn&

You PoV is understandable, but still do you believe the ongoing long-term pain of this fragmentation is LESS than the short-term pain of unifying? This is why I mentioned the metric system, and what not. Every time throughout history when w

Getting short-term compliance is the easy part. But the hard part is calculating how this changes the business incentives of a company and how they adapt to this compliance over time. What orders did Microsoft follow in specific, what are y

I wasn't using an analogy. I was literally talking about: if this is a law, how it'll ACTUALLY impact every business. If you think what Apple has created is different, again, define it. Let's see how it's fundamentally d

The slogans are easy but you need to define what "ecosystem" is so we understand the system-wide implications of these attitudes. Can I for example go to Walmart and setup my own store inside their store without having to ask them
