absolutely, here we are speaking in terms of analogies, in somewhat general terms, and above all in terms of real-world usability of the api your idea is a positive one, and opens the way for future mapping to alternative paradigms. On 1/23/07, Chris Johnson <cxjohnson@gmail.com> wrote:
fago and Victor: I was actually thinking about polymorphism on a higher, more abstract level compared to having an API which can do the same things to a variety of different objects, e.g. nodes, users, vocabs, etc. That is, imagine Drupal to be the virtual machine itself -- and ignore "proper" OO language ideas like class inheritance, etc. Anyway, an interesting comparison nonetheless. Thanks for the follow-up responses.
