Reading this discussion (and posting a comment about s-expressions) got me reading about Lisp[1], and then wondering about contemporary Lisp implementations, and then to Arc where I found this amusing comment by our host: "Object-oriented programming generates a lot of what looks like work. Back in the days of fanfold, there was a type of programmer who would only put five or ten lines of code on a page, preceded by twenty lines of elaborately formatted comments. Object-oriented programming is like crack for these people: it lets you incorporate all this scaffolding right into your source code." http://www.paulgraham.com/noop.html [1] I was paid to program in Common Lisp for about 6 years. However, this was a while ago so I was attempting to refresh my memory. |
