What’s a compsci (computer science) concept that still amazes you?

#OOP... because I never got around to learning it in the 90s & naughties, and it now seems to be somewhat deprecated in newer languages.

The hype train isn't kind to its older destinations. 😅

Deprecated??? It's quite prominent

I dunno, Go doesn't support inheritance, for example.

It seems that functional and imperative is the hot paradigm nowadays, at least from what I hear.

But maybe OOP is just faded into the background, buzz/hype-wise?

@rl_dane @libreivan @nixCraft Still plenty of Java code in production all over the world, I imagine.

@thedoctor @rl_dane @libreivan @nixCraft More than just plenty, I don't think I know a single company without a lot of internal java that runs stuff in the background.

@sotolf @rl_dane @libreivan @nixCraft There you go. Java is not the cool kid anymore but it power a lot of stuff. For example the whole Atlassian suite, although that's probably not an endorsement...
