Comment on Open Big Data Computing with Juliaparent

There are structures and there are functions, that's it. But then multiple dispatch in Julia gives you the main benefits of OO without all the ontological crap that comes with it.

Multi-dispatch is a form of OO.

I would argue that it's the other way around: single-dispatch o.o. is a special case of multiple dispatch.

Agree. The point being that OO is not plain Java or C++, there are many concepts around what OO is all about.
