| Feb 8, 2011 at 16:23 | comment | added | Frank Shearar | @Aidan Have you read William Cook's "On Understanding Data Abstraction, Revisited"? It delves into the differences between objects and ADTs, which is what you're hinting at. | |

@Frank: thanks for the pointer. I didn't include this in the answer, but the main objection I have to making Values into Objects has to do with the distinction b/w object interfaces (which are owned by objects) and operations (in which the relationships between objects are more primary than the objects themselves). 1 + 2 is mathematically equivalent to 2 + 1, but 1.+(2) is implemented differently than 2.+(1). There exist a number of SW problems than can be understood more naturally using operations than using object interfaces.

WhyFP is related to higher-order functions, Notes on Structured Programming is related to use of recursion. C++ already has lambdas.

| Feb 8, 2011 at 9:34 | comment | added | Frank Shearar | "Object" as "thing that holds mutable state" is very common, but the Value Object pattern's been around for many years. | |
| Feb 8, 2011 at 7:34 | comment | added | Matthieu M. | @Aidan: wrt lambdas in C++0x, at any rate the new C++ compilers have incorporated them already. | |
