> You haven't provided any concrete evidence.
Actually, I did. Snipping it from the replies and ignoring doesn't, in fact, make that evidence go away.
Whereas you have provided exactly zero evidence for your claims, except for repeating your opinion.
>What do you mean "works"?
It gets the job done effectively and efficiently. Caper Jones found half the effort to implement the same function points in Smalltalk vs. Haskell.

Not really. Still the same hyperbolic claims, and still the same meagre results.
> [OO] has all the problems I have tried to articulate previously.
No it doesn't, and just repeating an opinion over and over doesn't turn that opinion into fact.
> [Frederick Brooks an academic] Does it matter?
If it doesn't matter, then why did you bring it up? Oh right, to dismiss his widely cited article that you yourself referenced as "just one academic's opinion". Well, he is not, in fact "just" an academic, but has more practical experience with software than most people on the planet, including you and me. He is also an academic. So someone with vast amounts of industrial and academic experience and expertise.
> keep the debate civil.
It would have been nice had you done that.
Anyway, it is clear that you aren't interested in evidence or reasoned debate, so I think we can call it a day.
Have a good one.
