duality

OOP vs FP is better seen, I think, as a duality rather than as a dichotomy.

There is in fact no duality involved, unless you try to describe the world in classical physics.

But this near duality of interpretation has been the case in modern society since the 1950-60s.

However, there's a nasty duality in programming which is that saving time on the fun stuff means more time is spent on the un-fun stuff.

In holographic duality, this is a way to derive a more complex dimension from the next lowest dimension.

We demonstrate a technique for extracting relations from the WWW based on the duality of patterns and relations.

Talking to aspiring young physicists about 'wave/particle duality' is like starting chemistry students on the Four Elements.

And the fact that browsing contexts that are top-level from the Web perspective are iframe-like from the XUL perspective and the code for dealing with this duality is a mess.

Look really hard at nonlinear duality theory -- for a minimization problem, the dual is always maximizing a continuous, concave function!

If you think about it the current 'state' of the world should entirely depend on how the previous functions collapsed to produce the current 'state'.Perhaps like in physics there is a sort of Church-Turing duality to it all that is hard to tease apart.

Here's just of the top of my head what's wrong with Javascript:* looping over elements has too much boilerplate* the mindfulnesss of 'this' is distracting* the duality of dictionaries and lists and how that's an easy lie to fall for is fustrating* that there are multiple frameworks trying to use $On the other hand, their anonymous functions are very nice.
