Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Damn!
Looks almost as if the guy found Bryce's pages and plagiarized them, just to get a controversial column.

You are right. There are many things that are suspiciously close to my web-page. For example, I can see three of them together in one spot:


Countless academics point to OOP as the reason C++ is superior to C, neglecting to mention that C itself was an inherently painful language to use and that any abstraction would've been an improvement. C++ too is a difficult language to use; it's just not as difficult as C. That's pretty faint praise.

Efficiency is the stated goal of C-style languages and OOP, but the result is too often the opposite:

* Programming has become bloated\ufffdten lines of code are now needed where one used to suffice.
* Wrapping and mapping often use up programmer and execution time as OOP code struggles with various data stores.


Complaints about using C to paint a bad picture of all of non-OO, "wrapping and mapping" being actual words I used, and the 10-to-1 bloat claim is an actual code sample right on my page. (I admitted there it was an exaggeration meant to illustrate a pattern.)

I don't know whether to be flattered to insulted by the likely copying. A citation would have been more polite.

New There's always time to escalate.
Wait and see what his response is...

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New Update: he denies it
I sent him a message mentioning that the similarities seem suspicious, and he denies it.

However, he did agree to put a reference to my site at the very end, which perhaps is a way to protect his butt without admitting guilt.

I count roughly 14 similarities. In all the other anti-OO articles I have dug up, there was at best 1 or 2 things that remotely matched. That is a huge leap.

Maybe he found material written by me on various discussion groups without realizing it all came from the same person. There are not very many other dedicated anti-OO trolls.....I mean critics......out there.
