Description: By Richard P. Gabriel; OOPSLA 2002 address, Seattle, WA. A paradigm fails when the narrative it embodies fails to speak truth, or when its proponents embrace it beyond reason.
(November 06, 2002)
(Opening remarks by Richard P. Gabriel, November 6, 2002) What can it mean for a programming paradigm to fail? A paradigm fails when the narrative it embodies fails to speak truth or when its proponents embrace it beyond reason. The failure to speak truth centers around the changing needs of software in the 21st century and around the so-called improvements on OO that have obliterated its original benefits. Obsessive embrace has spawned a search for purity that has become an ideological weapon, promoting an incremental advance as the ultimate solution to our software problems. The effect has been to brainwash people on the street. The statement "everything is an object" says that OO is universal, and the statement "objects model the real world" says that OO has a privileged position. These are very seductive invitations to a totalizing viewpoint. The result is to starve research and development on alternative paradigms.
