Re: "Object-orientation and other dumb ideas"
In: s/Stories-from-the-Interwebs
I spent a couple of years writing a language that was Self-like, but instead of individual slots you mixed and matched interfaces, or groups of slots. It actually worked a lot better than Self conceptually. Eventually I ran out of steam and money, like so many of my great ideas that no one cares about.
Wow that sounds awesome, unfortunate about the lack of steam and money. I love interfaces, and Smalltalks multiple inhiertance does get scary (like C++'s) for sure.

Object-orientation and other dumb ideas — Daniel Lemire has posted some great articles and is always interesting to read. Here is his short take on OOP, a stupid idea based on nothing that went so viral that opposing it would cost you your job, your friends, and your reputation. Includes a guide on how to spot these brain viruses as they spread near you. Look around and spot some current idiocies around you, and post your observations here, if you dare!
