OOP is ?

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/OO_programming/why_oo_sucks

Why do people hate on OO so much.  Do a degree it was forced down my throat in college and many of its principles I disagree with.  It almost seemed design to cause code bloat and run slower than a non OO language, but still has some reasonable application in modern programming.

I've long lamented lisps lack of libraries, but looking at the leaning of #lispers they linger too long in last-centuries limits, its not likely that they'll listen to any logical argument leading to the laying down of new labor lessening lambdas.

Cool alliteration, bro. Also, check 'em.

>>44
Am I autistic if I haven't noticed until you said it?

Also, why would I want to use Lisp when C has a rich sediment of practical tradition?
Yesterday I read Xah Lee's “What Languages to Hate”¹ essay and related web scrolls. It liberated me! I realised the trickery of C and how my brain had adapted to it. C is not minimalistic, C is not a low-level language, C is a wretched and underspecified virtual machine that pretends to try to abstract most mainstream systems.
C is full of lies. C libraries pretend there is such a thing as “plain text”. C pretends to have a consistent syntax and a macro system. C pretends to give portable access to CPU datatypes. C is lies.
C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C!
Of course like any self-respecting programmer I read SICP. And I pretended to understand it. I bend and corrupted each sentence found in it to suit C's model. C had become a part of me, I started lying to myself. I pretended to use Common Lisp but what I was doing was pretend Common Lisp is C. “Good programmers can write FORTRAN in any language.”
I can't take it anymore. C is fast not because it was well-designed but just because enormous efforts have been put into its compilers. All dialects of assembly are vastly better low-level language but they're not practical enough so I will probably continue to use C, this time without deluding myself. I will also re-read SICP with a new eye.
I hope this answers your question or at least convince you that using C is neither a priviledge nor a sin: it's a penance.

I have seen the light, I have reached Satori.

Prolog is the one and only true programming language.

Have your own god damn perspective, don't get paranoid just because something everyone uses is actually bad. I tell you, beautiful things are always dominated by hurrdurr dumb crap, and you will have to use shit to do shit to make a living, sooner or later. That's how it has always been.

>>46
C is indeed shit.

If it's C, at least it ain't SEPPLES.

>>47
HAHA
Anyone who has used Prolog will tell you the language is terrible!

>>50
C is crap.

>>51
I've used Prolog and I think it's great.

>>55
Check your doubles, singular programmer!

checked

>>53-55
How about a dubs checker written in Prolog?

Why not a Haskell program to remove all doubles and dueces?
