I was browsing around some old OO ColdFusion posts and saw a lot of
talk by “Tom MInderson”. It seems like he has about 50 posts spread
out (by doing a quick Google search). They all pretty much say the
same thing:
OO complicates things for datacentric applications that ColdFusion is
targeting. I.e. we don’t control cars or automatic garage doors. Then
he goes on about this “Set Theory”.
The only thing I could find on set theory with Coldfusion was at
http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/41826_p.htm
… the most complex ColdFusion article ever.
Is anyone familiar with his anti-web app OOP mission? Do his arguments
have any validity? What the heck is set theory programming? I felt
like I was stepping back into philosophy 101 with syllogisms.
I do see his point that trying to map objects to a relational database
is where OOP starts to feel really unnatural. In addition, with the
business objects we deal with, it seems unnatural for them to have
behaviors, unlike a car being able to “start()”.
