C++ > *

Tell me /prog/, why are you still using lisp and scheme when you can use C++ with Object Oriented and Imperative styles. How are you supposed to make a usable application if you can't use state?

Let's settle this once and for all.

>OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them.

>Actually I made up the term "object-oriented", and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind.
