Ted Leung on the air

Don posted something about delegates and Ted replied:

Ted Leung on the air: "Don Box's posting on delegates is a little funny. He basically shows how delegates can be used to reduce the coupling between two pieces of code, because one end no longer has to be aware of the interface being exported by the other end. This is equivalent to removing some type information from the program. So if removing some type information is good because it reduces coupling, then why not remove all type information? "

Ahhh...see...when I apply the mindset described by Adam that statement makes sense to me.

Here's what I'm seeing...it's no longer a world of "which programming language to use?" it's "which programming paradigm to use?". I like that argument better. To me it makes it less of a religious war and more of a "this tool is better suited for..." decison.
