To me, as a C++ programmer, none of this really matters. I'm working on a very compute-intensive program with a lot of modules, used in professional settings. It has to go fast. If using C++ means we can go faster than someone using whatever else, at the expense of needing five times the people and six times the development effort, we'll pick C++. We're interested in the maximum performance achievable with the langua…
> Probably as good as any other programming paradigma out there. I take offence with postmodern relativism. Not every paradigm is created equal (and for the record, black culture is less "good" than white culture. Come on, "acting white" because you have good grades?). The way to get better as a professional is to analyze various ways of doing stuff and find which is better and how much of it you can use. This articl…

You sound like a religious adept. Open your eyes, just see the truth, blah-blah-blah. I asked for a very simple thing - a piece of code which is easy, robust and maintainable because of its use of OOP. All of the qualities are objective and easy to measure, regardless of your philosophy. There must be at leat some examples of this. If they do not exist, then your claims that OOP eliminates complexity are nothing but…

All of the qualities are objective and easy to measure, regardless of your philosophy. How is that a simple thing? What are you looking for? If I showed you a piece of code which was I said was simple, robust, and maintainable, how would you know whether it's true or not, unless you know the language,…
Humanity has to accept that half of any population (including the team in our current workplace) is less intelligent than the other half. Then when we address a problem we have to accept that both halves will have to touch the problem at some stage in a project. Following this we need to aim for simplicity rather than complexity. With this in mind I think that both FP and OOP can be used to build simpler programs but…
