<be forewarned, this may be considered long, or very long by some>
Usually on this list, if the post is going to be long we add L3, LLL, or ELL to the subject heading. L3 and LLL are "Lazh-Like Length" and ELL is "Eythain-Like Length," both in tribute to an old list member named Eythain Lazh who was prone to long postings. Also acceptible is GLL (Gord-Like Length) in honor of another former member, but I haven't seen that one used in years. Not everyone adds these flags to the subject heading, and not everyone uses the same cutoff.
Given the length of some of my posts lately, we may have to add RLL and BLL as options :-)
Object Oriented programming has now been overshadowed by other paradigms and this only confirms that old adage "the only constant in the universe is change".
I'm curious; what new paradigms are you seeing? I have a friend who just got his programming degree from DeVry, where they're still teaching object oriented programming like it was the second coming, and I'm sure he'd appreciate knowing what other approaches he should study. And as a person just getting back into programming after a long absence, I'd certainly like to know too.
Cheers! (...please be gentle and don't flame me!)
Don't worry. There have been flames on this list, and occasionally they've been brutal, but generally this is a pretty friendly place to be, most of the time.
Oh, by the way, welcome to the list!
