Absolutely. There must be a whole generation of people in British IT/electronics who just about remember It'll Never Work? off the BBC.

Yes, but you're locked into the subset of prototypal inheritance that basically is class inheritance. A class is, fundamentally, just a prototype of a particular kind.

IME, with enough dependencies in enough tasks, it can get very slow to start.

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, Haskell's riddled with this stuff - and is gaining traction. As long as the definition is clear and it's documented, what's the problem?

It depends what you mean by distributed system. A rich SPA type web app connecting to a server is in a limited sense a distributed system. Pretty much any common AWS setup involves distribution. These are things that a wide variety of progr

This is a weird argument, since both (Agile & TDD) were codified by basically the same people, or at least two sets of people with a big old overlap.

I agree (and implied) it was not a great design for actually dealing with names, but simply that sometimes there is more in getFoo() than "return foo". Which behaviour you may want to verify with a test. EDIT: typo

I love both languages, but I don't see the tooling in one as vastly superior to the other. Elixir certainly has Clojure completely licked in terms of compile times; also the Mix command-line workflow is just simpler (no messing around
