Time Nick Message 16:14 chris morning 16:18 owen Hi chris 16:19 chris hiya owen 16:19 chris hows things? 16:19 owen Not bad. 16:20 chris ohh cool 16:21 owen Unfortunately I'm behind on the whole object-oriented stuff 16:21 chris its a fad 16:21 chris :-) 16:21 owen :) 16:22 owen I have a feeling my current coding practices are less efficient than they could be 16:22 owen Perl has the whole CPAN thing, so I'm trying to get to know PHP's PEAR 16:23 chris yeah, cpan is the best thing about perl 16:39 thd chris: I would really like that fad be over, but it seems to be endorsed in Perl 6. OOPS code looks like procedural code written backwards unless I wrote it when I needed to use Python. 16:40 thd chris: Do you know of any prospects for that fad winding down? 16:40 chris thd: invent a new one :-) 16:41 chris when I went to university the fad was Abstract Data Types .. OO is just a level of obfustication over that as far as im concerned 16:46 thd chris: I should start a fad for code that aborts with an error if it is incompletely commented. "Compilation error not enough comments line 60." 16:46 chris heh 16:46 chris good idea 16:47 chris "Warning insufficient POD"
