@505e06b2 Hey, not much, you?
@freemo Just woke up; definitely not ready for the classes I have today: OOP just doesn't agree with me
@505e06b2 Not everyone is a fan of OOP. How ya feel about Haskell or C?
@freemo I adore C, dude: it's literally everything I need it to be; portable, low enough abstraction, and with a standard library I can actually remember!
@505e06b2 You arent the only one who feels that way, lots of people love C. Me personally, I like C, it has its place, but I also see where OOP makes sense. The right tool for the job I always say.
@freemo That's what it comes down to in the end, huh? C has its place, but sometimes you just need a quick script, or to express an idea without needing to think how it's all laid out in memory. Anyways, I'm sure I'll appreciate OOP more as I work on more projects with other people
@505e06b2
C will always have its place. Python will give you the tools to change the oil, but C gives you the tools to do a full rebuild.
OOP has had quite the heyday, but people are starting to realize that one can't model the world in *those* simplistic terms. We get closer with each iteration...

@freemo
I totally agree with you. I got my OOP "A-ha" moment while learning Smalltalk. (If you want to force a mental paradigm shift to OOP, I would strongly suggest checking that out everything but the OS primitives are written in Smalltalk. It would probably break your mind to try to write procedural code there.)
I just think that, as we try to model more complex things, the pillars of OOP get kind of wiggly, and we have to jump through more hoops to stay "pure"

@freemo
Agreed. Convincing upper management of that is the challenge. The struggle is real.
