Welcome to the 87th issue of De Programmatica Ipsum, about Considered Harmful.
In this edition:
- We weigh the historical and philosophical implications of the phrase “Considered Harmful”.
- In our Vidéothèque section, we watch Phil Nash explain which parts of OOP can be considered harmful.
- In the Library section, we read a paper by Joanna Rutkowska explaining why the Intel x86 architecture should be considered harmful.
