(2005-12-07) Eby Python Future

Phillip J Eby notes I do still feel some love of teaching, consulting, and organizational systems design, but I find myself strangely caring little about software architecture per se, and somewhat disillusioned about Python's future, despite being excited about PyPy. This is probably because I've finally seen clearly what the true flaws of object orientation (OOP) are, and I know what needs to replace/complete it. Within a system where those flaws are remedied, there isn't much need to have anything you would call an "architecture", so it now seems to me that software architecture as we know it is mostly the study of workarounds for our crippled tools and ways of thinking.
