Re^2: attribute collisions Ãn Moose

your "Intro to OOP 101" professor who put this conviction in your head

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I never studied Computer Science (only Math) - but I have to admit that my thinking about OO is heavily influenced by Bertrand Meyer.

But I hope my posting is not misunderstood:
It is not intended to denigrate Moose in any way - in fact I like it a lot, so thanks for all the effort you've put into it.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I never studied Computer Science (only Math) Me either, I studied Fine Arts Painting, but never finished. CS degrees can be overrated especially since the course material is typically out of date shortly after it is written, such is the nature of our industry. but I have to admit that my thinking about OO is heavily influenced by Bertrand Meyer. Ah-ha! I should have known, your comments made me think of Eiffel actually. I am a big fan of Mr. Meyer (in fact, Reusable Software : The Base Object-Oriented Component Libraries is one of my favorite books) but he is very much an purist and so should be taken with a grain of salt. I mean, after all the guy actually designed the Eiffel language for the book, because he felt the other OO languages were not sufficient to get across his vision of OO purity. But I hope my posting is not misunderstood* Not at all, sorry if my response lead you to believe that. -stvn * - at least this is what I have read, it may just only be rumor.	[reply]
