I agree with Oscar - you would put the nick in front and here we are at OO.

Yes, maybe if we would have ever learned it the functional way in school, maybe we would prefer the functional way just because we are more familiar with it. > YOU calling ME - the subject, not the action, is the key.

I am not sure if I like the idea of really mixing both worlds. I think it could be more obfuscating of the code. But on the other hand, where it fits, why not introduce a little FP in my program. But as I meantioned earlier (or maybe in another thread) - there are really more important issues in software development than introducing a little FP in code. Anyway, the customer gives a sh... on OO or functional, the customer wants results - and at this point I notice that I lost far enough time re-thinking and re-thinking if I should finally introduce a little FP style in my code. - I decided right now not to bother any more. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
