Radical Simplification Through Polyglot and Poly-paradigm Programming

53:55

Summary

This presentation attacks the problem of software complexity and how various modularity paradigms (e.g., object, functions, aspects) simplify complexity and help separate concerns. This talk explores the design problems where these paradigms are most applicable and extract rules of thumb for when to use them. We will also look at language support for these paradigms.
