Opinions on Object-Oriented Programming and Ideological Purity in Engineering Circles

In this chapter, the hosts discuss their opinions on object-oriented programming and its limitations. They highlight the problems that can arise from being too dogmatic and obsessed with purity in engineering circles. They also discuss the use of programming languages like Haskell and Scheme that are often considered pure but may not be practical for real-world tasks. The hosts encourage exploring different programming languages as an educational tool and advocate incorporating the best ideas into multiparadigm general-purpose languages.
