alt Hacker News> It's easy to avoid "AbstractFactoryProviderBuilder" if everything is hardcoded. Try to make it reusable and extensible, and I bet you write one yourself.
The first domino is opting for OOP. AbstractFactoryProviderBuilders are just the inevitable downstream consequence of that initial choice. No need for factories if you don't traffic in objects in the first place.
Objects. Just say no.
Bit of an extreme position, no? Languages without OO tend to end up reinventing it. Like the Linux kernel style of "big C structure with function pointers": that's just a vtable which you have to maintain by hand. Or, god help you, trying to do COM in C.
What's a good codebase that is very large but without either OO or pseudo-OO?
