Borklog: One entry

10 January 2001

More in the programming flame-fest category. DougEdoug pointed me to Slashdot running an article on OOP Criticism. Basically it's an axe-grinding of OOP's faults (none of which was a revelation). Tools are tools, no matter what the marketing hype says. The Dremel Moto-Tool is pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to use it for cleaning my pool for for dental surgery. (well, you can use the Moto-Tool if it's someone I don't like). The author is using the article to push his Table Oriented Programming. Which in itself (after a very quick glance) looks like it could be interesting. I find the TOP article amusing in some of its language choices such as the use of "we think this" and "we have determined". It sounds a lot like the Unabomber Manifesto. (which is actually a pretty good read. I think Kaczinski was on to something with the whole Power Process and modern societies interruption of it.)
