There is a line from the docs that I am trying to understand: "Elm encourages a strict separation of data and logic, and the ability to say this is primarily used to break this separation. This is a systemic problem in Object Oriented languages that Elm is purposely avoiding."
What is the systemic problem being reference? Is it the [lack of] "separation of data and logic" or "the ability to say this"? I have been programming in Java (an OO language) for a long time. I can name dozens of systemic problems in the language. But the ability to say "this" is not one of them. Nor is it the commingling of data and logic. Please help me to understand what the author is talking about. Thanks. Side note: "this" *is* a problem in JavaScript. But not in OO generally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
