He also gave a lecture in Russian about a year ago; there he said that he prefers simple things like "for, if" and essentially sees nothing bad in writing Pascal in any language, if the code is effective and clear (as opposed to mistically duct-typed, as I get it). | |

| Oct 26, 2010 at 9:37 | comment | added | Frank Shearar | His comments on OOP are just plain wrong: stlport.org/resources/StepanovUSA.html He thinks OOP is single-dispatch and class-based, for starters. (CLOS uses multiple dispatch, Self and Javascript are prototype-based, as counterexamples.) | |
