With a little searching, you can find several papers like this one that research the question of whether OO has lived up to the hype: http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1129&context=cistechlib
Feel free to jump straight to the conclusion, i.e., "object-oriented technology has only partly kept its promises." If you want to use OO in its traditional form, there are many languages that will support you in doing that. Clojure is not one of them. If you want to join a community of people who are dissatisfied with OO, and feel they are working towards a better way, with better tools for reuse and managing complexity, give Clojure a try. It's entirely your choice. No one's making you do anything. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
