The Best OO Language is a Functional One

Explore the intersection of object-oriented and functional programming in this thought-provoking conference talk from YOW! 2017. Join Dave Thomas, co-author of "The Pragmatic Programmer," as he challenges traditional notions of object-oriented development and presents a fresh perspective on OO programming using Elixir. Discover how functional languages are reviving the true spirit of object-oriented programming, and learn how this approach can lead to more flexible and maintainable code. Gain insights into the 50-year history of OO languages and understand why many fall short of true object-orientation. Through practical examples and expert analysis, uncover the liberating potential of writing OO code in a functional language like Elixir.
