Asta [AMP]object oriented programming: there are 50 classes. they all have some overlap in their venn diagram. some of the overlap is in a third or fourth dimension that cannot be graphed with human brains. your eyes register nothing but a hideous, writhing mass when you try.
Cassandra is only carbon now@aud The problem with OOP in general, IMHO, is that it couples subtypes and typeclasses in a very confusing way.
@aud You can kind of deal with that by being very disciplined about keeping your inheritance tree to zero or one levels of depth, and using fully abstract classes (interfaces) to do the bit that looks more typeclass-y, but it's very hard to add new functionality to an existing design that way without breaking back compat... so folks tend to just poke holes in the design instead.
