Good lord.

It's all about complexity management and certain problems cry for certain solutions. Depending on how you slice and dice cores, a pipeline of objects may make perfect sense.

Look at Erlang, e.g.

It's garbage for anything other than it was intended.

20 cores? Use erlang!!

Lots of outrage in the comments. Lots of Trevs who are invested in OOP and swallowed all the reuse bullshit.

Obviously different problems tend towards different solutions.

It isn't like an embedded system with a bunch of processors, often different designs, will end up similar in construction to a complex acting GUI.

Honestly, the primary difference I've seen all these years is not the addition of new languages or practices, but is widespread adoption of prewritten libraries, whether commercial or free.

Some of the comments are hilarious:

Your own website uses WordPress, which is largely written in object-oriented PHP (yes, it actually uses the OO features of PHP). If functional languages are so great, why is your own website not written in one?

This is just totally ridiculous. Have you ever even read Code Complete?

people who have only worked in academia don't understand why OOP is something people should learn

you don't learn it as a "programming paradigm". you learn it to try and organize code so it isn't a fucking mess.

for example, if you have a bunch of math functions, you don't put them all over your fucking code in different places. You create one place called math or a math library and stick them all in there.

OOP helps you do this. All the other OOP shit is basically a total waste.

C++ is total garbage.

C# and Java are much better than C not because they are OOP but because they do garbage collection and get rid of pointers. This keeps your program from crashing and keep it from leaking memory, two of the biggest problems in C. Those are their two real big advantages over C.

Functional programming makes parallelism much easier but at the expense of the programming not know what the fuck the actual processor and network traffic are. You can write a 10 line program in any functional language that blows out your network traffic, memory and CPU all at once because as a programmer, you don't see all that shit happens when you make those few calls.

C is showing you what the CPU does. C# and Java also do to a lesser extent but they are much, much closer than any functional language.

just use map/reduce with C# or Java and forget erlang and all that fucking garbage.

I can imagine that guy standing up in CS class and yelling...

This is garbage. Have you even read Code Complete?

Fucking finally. OOP has always been overhyped shit for simpletons.

No, they don't. Ivory tower retards.

Yea. It was supposed to simplify programming but instead it made it more complicated. Every object is different with it's own learning curve.
