Endless debates

• 1990 C++ vs C

• 2000 Java vs C++

• 2005 Ruby vs Java

• 2012 Everything vs Everything.

• there is a reason these don’t end

Programming Languages

• are not neighboring enemy states.

next endless debate

• semicolons! (just kidding! :))

• classes vs functional

• just like the previous point, they are both valid arguments

Tuesday, August 6, 13

actually,

• 424 BC

if Plato was a developer...

class Animal

this.canMakeNoise = yes

class Human

this.nrOfLegs = 2

class Person

constructor:(name)->

this.name = name

Tuesday, August 6, 13

if Darwin was a developer...

class Animal

this.canMakeNoise = yes

class Human extends Animal

this.nrOfLegs = 2

class Person extends Human

constructor:(name)->

this.name = name

or else

• a cute mule is never born.
