Regardless of how everybody feels about this topic, the explanation itself
bothers me:
"Object-oriented programming is eliminated entirely from the introductory
curriculum, because it is both anti-modular and anti-parallel by its very
nature, and hence unsuitable for a modern CS curriculum."

Lisp (and hence CLOS) is procedural rather than functional, like C or
Python. It just has better support for untyped FP than most.

I fail to understand why Object-Oriented and Functional programming are so
often portrayed as opposites. Nothing could be further from the truth... if
anything, the two paradigms are completely orthogonal.
The real opposites here are imperative vs declarative programming, with FP
being a subset o
What's really mystifying to me is that I really don't see OO and functional
operate at the same level, let alone being mutually exclusive with each
other.
Functional is more about the implementation of your methods while OO gives
you a way to organize them in a way that maximizes reuse and encapsu
Indeed, I've never done anything right either :) What I don't understand is
why
functional and OO are seen as mutually exclusive. One of the main things being
touted about Scala was that it would make it easy for a traditional OO Java
person to dip their toe in Scala's pool and proceed into m
It does look like a high degree of pet subject enthusiasm on the part
of the person running the course. As much as Java is mentioned in the
article, Java did not invent object orientation and there are many
other Object Oriented languages or languages which have embraced

Well, that's CMU, so this should't come as a surprise :-)
Having said that, I find this disappointing. I think it's important to make
