| schestowitz | Summarizing and paraphrasing Kay's critique of C++, Java, Objective-C, Delphi, etc: key elements of a "true" OO language missing from these include: | Oct 05 17:05 |

| schestowitz | A Meta-Object Protocol | Oct 05 17:05 |
| schestowitz | Dynamic dispatch | Oct 05 17:05 |
| schestowitz | The advantages are very clear when you use a language like Common Lisp or Kay's own Smalltalk, and forever after you will find C++ etc limiting and frustrating. | Oct 05 17:05 |
| schestowitz | It is sometimes claimed that the added certainty provided by compile-time type checking in C++ etc is an advantage, even a necessity, particularly at scale, and there is certainly something to that claim. It does indeed make things easier... for the compiler. However, in a programmable programming language like Lisp it is possible to "bolt on" any of the constraints that more static languages claim as advantageous if and when | Oct 05 17:05 |
| schestowitz | desired/necessary without losing the huge speed advantages that come from interactive programming in a "live" environment. | Oct 05 17:05 |
| schestowitz | I gather that Python and Ruby fit the "true OO" bill too, though I have very little experience with the former and none with the latter so I can't comment on them. | Oct 05 17:05 |
