Previous: OO-SSR Disconnect
There are one or more reasons why these two groups seems not to
communicate:
-
``Hacker/buildercw'' vs ``methods/software engineer'' culture,
conferences, etc. This OO community works in small teams, with a
largely oral culture.
-
The reuse community's evidence for successes not crisp or
compelling enough to motivate adoption by the OO community.
-
The systematic reuse methods are not operational, mechnical or
concrete enough for use/adoption by the more pragmatic OO
community.
-
OO practice (today) can in fact get by without much reuse
community advice and knowledge, until larger scale problems,
systems, libraries or teams need a more structured and approach.
