Fad Oriented Programming

Name: Anonymous 2015-03-04 4:05

Is it time to declare object orientation officially over and allow functional programming to take the crown as the latest fad?

Also, do you think logical programming will be next? Maybe I should brush up on my Prolog.

It has functions and function composition too, but I wouldn't call it functional either. It has integers, and you use them just as often as objects, but I wouldn't call it integer-oriented (BCPL, though, that's integer-oriented. Everything is an integer in BCPL.)

The right way to do OO is to have an object oriented language. Smalltalk, Javascript, Lua, Io, even fucking Python is more OO than C++. Another not-OO language is Perl; it has all the OO features-*all* of them. You can do any style of objects in Perl, but it isn't used that way. Perl 6 otoh is OO.

Unless your language is "everything is an object" to some approximation, it's just not OO.
