Re: [testdrivendevelopment] "bottom-up" TDD and common behaviors

By the way. I=E2=80=99m happy to pair with people on this codebase. I=E2=80=
=
=99m using it to learn, and pairing would help me learn. And I do hope som=
eday to explain what I learn, and pairing would be practice for that.=20

This is Elixir code, which is not object-oriented. In practice, I don=E2=
=80=99t think that makes a huge difference. I=E2=80=99ve found the dynamic=
ally-typed functional languages similar enough to OO languages. Giving up o=
n mutable data isn=E2=80=99t a big deal. A class isn=E2=80=99t *that* diffe=
rent from a namespace for a single data structure (like `Animal`) that incl=
udes a collection of functions. Instead of writing:

	animal.operation(5)

=E2=80=A6 you write:

        Animal.operation(animal, 5)

There=E2=80=99s even usually polymorphic function names (so you can drop t=
he `Animal` and let the runtime figure it out), but without inheritance.
