Hacker News with Generative AI: Object-Oriented Programming

Getter-Setter Pattern Considered Harmful (wolfgang-ziegler.com)
Many developers (like myself) who started their careers with OOP (Java, C#, ...) during the last decades will look at this code and find nothing wrong about it at first sight.

Inheritance and Subtyping (frankel.ch)
Java is the first language I learned in my career. Its structure is foundational in my early years of understanding programming concepts. After going through several other languages with very different approaches, I’ve widened my point of view. Today, I want to reflect on the idea of inheritance.

Better Know a Ruby Thing: Singleton Classes (noelrappin.com)
It is time to Better Know what is perhaps the Ruby-iest of Ruby things, a feature that didn’t even have an official name for several years, despite being critical to Ruby’s Object-Oriented semantics. (It only just now occurs to me that there was no official name in English, I wonder what the Japanese name for it was…).

Thinking in Actors – Part 3 – Using the Actor Model to Track Aircraft (jeremycarterau.substack.com)
Previously we outlined the three pillars of the virtual actor: Ownership, Lifecycle and Transaction. I also briefly introduced a few techniques we can use to help us model our actors. Now, we will put it all together and model a system that allows us to track aircraft in real-time.

Issues with object-oriented programming in Guile (2022) (dthompson.us)
Scheme is often thought of as a functional programming language, but really it is a multi-paradigm language, including object-oriented programming.

A C++ Mixin System (jennyjams.net)
I've had this idea in the back of my head for a while of pervasively using mixins to add code and logic for more high level concepts, although this gets somewhat close to Rust style traits (and C++ concepts). This has existed in the back of my head for a long time as a way to model a framework or standard library implementaiton while also providing it for user types.

OOP is not that bad (osa1.net)
OOP is certainly not my favorite paradigm, but I think mainstream statically-typed OOP does a few things right that are very important for programming with many people, over long periods of time.

Beyond Procedure Calls as Component Glue: Connectors Deserve Metaclass Status (dl.acm.org)
We present the architecture-oriented programming language Objective-S, which goes beyond procedure calls for expressing inter-component connectors (so-called glue code) in order to directly express a wide range of architectural patterns directly in the implementation.

Python Data Model (python.org)
Objects are Python’s abstraction for data. All data in a Python program is represented by objects or by relations between objects. (In a sense, and in conformance to Von Neumann’s model of a “stored program computer”, code is also represented by objects.)
