Gregory's ServerElegant Objects (EO) is an object-oriented programming paradigm that renounces traditional techniques like null, getters-and-setters, code in constructors, mutable objects, static methods, annotations, type casting, implementation inheritance, data objects, etc.

@neauoire I've been casually watching this. I really like the concept and syntax, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for yet and the JVM isn't my favorite platform. There's some really cool work being done, though, like the inline Rust FFI  @mcc all the "why?" are clickable, and send to links where they go into a bit of detail to contour the pattern. The first few offer some alternative, the bottom ones are more like rant against their usage. I'm still going through the list atm.  @avi @d6 English Prime is a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb "to be", including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms. Its goal is to leads to a less dogmatic style of language that reduces the possibility of misunderstanding or conflict. I think it's kind of neat to use subsets or restricted versions of something, instead of speak a different language.  @neauoire I'm sure that there is some good stuff here but continually reading "this is wrong" turns me right off. There is no objective right and wrong here, any more than there is in a choice of sandwich¹, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone that thought there was. Also choosing Java to demonstrate the "flaws" of OOP is kind of easy mode — Java is known to get itself tied up in knots. ¹You can't make a milk sandwich, but ham and cheese are not objectively rankable.  @neauoire hmm there is a lot of invalid(or just against the Scandinavian approach of OOP) statement :/ |
@neauoire this reminds me a lot of smalltalk
