13:16:06 ##forth <olle> :)
13:37:49 ##forth <xentrac> here's Jon Blow complaining about how programmers make their lives overcomplicated by inventing a lot of program structures that aren't needed to solve the problem at hand in, for example, C++: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04ksL1hf_p8
13:37:54 ##forth <xentrac> very Chuck Mooreish vibe
13:40:47 ##forth <olle> There's only one thing worse than using OOP, and that is not using OOP.
13:48:37 ##forth <xentrac> he isn't really talking about OOP
14:07:36 ##forth <cleobuline> do you want a oop version of forthbot ?
14:09:52 ##forth <cleobuline> so i will become rich and celebre
14:13:57 ##forth <olle> OOP as in "everything is an object" with message passing?
14:14:01 ##forth <olle> And a message is also an object?
14:14:29 ##forth <olle> I think in Smalltalk, "if" is also a message sent to a block-of-code object. :)
14:17:48 ##forth <identity> olle: i thought it was sent to a boolean with 2 (?) blocks of code
14:21:13 ##forth <identity> actually Bool ifTrue: [ "then code" ] ifFalse: [ "else code" ]
14:21:26 ##forth <identity> so 2 messages
14:21:32 ##forth <olle> oh!
14:21:34 ##forth <olle> identity: good one
14:22:02 ##forth <olle> and the code is the message payload?
14:23:22 ##forth <identity> yes, the code blocks are sent to the boolean
14:24:14 ##forth <olle> Got it
