@lottie you're really hecking cute

I want to recreate this video, but from the perspective of a functional programmer, rather than the perspective of someone who thinks along the lines of "functional programming is probably the future, but not for use right now because of performance problems or something"

as @falkreon pointed out, there are some issues with this video. But I do love how it clearly states the practical problems with OO without getting deeper into programming language theory.

@falkreon

I don't think imperative programming is the answer, however I'd much rather work in an imperative language with modules and polymorphism than an OO language

I also thought it was weird to say that functional programming has performance issues - that seems like an unneccesary disclaimer that repeats outdated notions.

I like this video primarily because it demonstrates the problems with OO.

@typhlosion oh cool!

@loki goodnight, loki~

"When I look at your OO codebase, what I'm going to encounter is either this over-engineered giant tower of abstractions, or I'm going to be looking at this inconsistently architected pile of objects that are probably all tangled together like christmas lights"

I'm thinking of stealing the whole "the surface is poisonous and you need a gasmask to go out there" thing from Metro 2033, and making a half life 2 mod based around that.
