Subject: Java, Subject Verb Object notation
My friend mikael forwarded me this blog entry:
http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co...
I don't like this. He ends up arguing for tool support in java for functions but can't see that classes are already used in java as functions which can be passed around. It is like he's making a weak argument for functional programming but doesn't realize that functional programming includes passing functions around (which can be like passing an object around when all you do is plan to call upon a method it implements).
My friend mikael suggested he is complaining about the Java community creating code like this. Mikael doesn't have the experience in the area for me to trust but I don't have the experience either.
Is real java code like this? Or do people often use classes just to hold functions?
