Quoting Jeroen Asselman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel: :> Furthermore, it takes better engineers to do OO design properly. :> Trivial OO design is easy, good OO design is hard. It would be harder :> to find good OO programmers than it is to find good C programmers. : :Unfortunately this is really true. I have seen many programs written in :C++ which were either not OO, or overdone. Also there were some which :would have been better of to be written in 'plain' C.
Actually, it could be a good incentive to write design documents and archive them before coding, I don't know if many open-source programmers would be interested to do things "like it was work". But yes, that would be crazy to do an OO program without clear written design. : :> But yes, I confess re-writing in an OO language would be nice. :> Unfortunately, the only OO language I know of is Eiffel. : :Too bad I don't know anything about Eiffel. Any ideas how C# is doing? Actually, I know C++ and Java, but they are not what I would call OO languages. Java is more OO than C++, but still not quite as much as Eiffel is. I think C# is a clone of Java, so I would say C# is still less OO than Eiffel can be. The only problem with Eiffel is that it's not widespread, and it's been also 10 years since I've stopped programming in Eiffel. I've been waiting for a popular OO language that would offer all the nice OO features that I became accustomed to whilst working on Eiffel. Java is unfortunately the best there is to date, but I dislike this language. For gOOd reasons!
