Re: what's the future of Object Oriented Programming

Haven't you read Design Patterns?

Yes, I have. But this debate is about advantages and disadvantages of
polymorphism. Not about different design patterns.

I clearly see how polymorphism can help, but I fail to see what the
"disadvantages" of polymorphism could be (unless you count "doesn't solve
my actual problem" as a "disadvantage").

I tend to ask "Have you read /Design Patterns/" as short-hand for "Have you
seen examples of OO techniques being used correctly, to simplify programs?"

The long term future of OO lies in UML as a 4GL.

Lord, have mercy :(

How can you test-first that??

Don't you have to then debug the contents of the UML diagram - the
behaviors?

They laughed at my theories! Because my theories are funny!!

The great thing about Topmind is he has learned so much OO theory, here,
that he knows exactly what to say to lead anyone here to the pro-OO reply he
expects.
