Iterating towards Smalltalk

So, when I propose No Private Methods, that's because it's the most extreme thing I could think of.  I want to know what that looks like, so that I know when I've got the right set of private methods.

He says this in a conversation about writing shorter methods. Sounds to me like he's iterating closer and closer to a Smalltalk kind of viewpoint.

Update: Now he wants everything to be an object, and notification of attribute changes. Hmm - you mean setters like this, maybe:


commentText: someText
	commentText := someText.
	self changed: #commentText.

This guy really, really needs to look at Smalltalk :)
