OOP is dying badly (offtopic from trendcontrol)

[Chaos]

OOP is only a layer under procedural way .

You mean over don't you?

yea, sorry my english is really awful.

no need to apologise at all You don't want to hear my French!

I like some of C++'s features like function over loading and optional parameters, but haven't bothered with OOP and probably never will.

Not because I don't like it or don't want to learn it, it's more because I haven't felt the need for it.

PB IDE and UEStudio.

I like most of all procedure oriented programming, but make with gave up is oop of advantage.
Who of you uses oop the support of Inc. or of me?

Never thought I would drop a line in here (but hey, I do ) but there's one thing that struck me as quite interesting (and perhaps essential) in the refered article: code reusability. Would OOP indeed be harder to reuse, or not?

(And yes, I'm a total noob on OOP...)

[Foz]

Badly written OOP can't be reused. Well written OOP can be reused.

on the flip side:

Badly written PP can't be reused. Well written PP can be reused.


Hmm... I think I see the problem... Execute all bad coders!

Execute all bad coders!

Sounds like a good theme for a game

I can't see how waiting (on the IDE, on the compiler, on your own program) leads to loving programming.

To learn to like programming, you must actually program. Not sit around waiting on an IDE that takes 5 minutes to load, or a Hello World program that takes 5 seconds to compile and 3 seconds to launch.

I experience all those things with REALbasic but I still love it.

I've been seduced by a bounty of lovely objects and I'd find it very hard to give them up.

Instead, have a look at C# and the .NET framework for pure elegance and fall in love with programming all over again.

I did and switched to PB and I'm loving it!
