Why I Prefer Procedural/Relational Over OOP
« on: September 21, 2006, 08:45 PM »
Although most of my articles focuses on the down-sides of OOP, due to popular request (or popular revolt, depending on your point of view) I will describe here why I prefer the procedural/relational paradigm over OOP, focusing more on the up-sides of procedural-relational instead. This is a forest- level philosophical summary and does not get into specific examples. See the links scattered about below for more specifics.

Hey thanks, this looks like a good read. Ever since I saw Spore and heard it was procedural I thought that I wanted to program procedurally. :-)

(personally, i am a huge OOP fan, i think it's one of the greatest ideas of man).

Hmm, I couldn't understand a word he was saying.
