new GUI paradigmThe latest alert box from UI guru Jakob Nielsen would be rather fascinating if it wasn't so darned obvious: the latest paradigm in UI is no longer OO (WYSIWYG is fundamentally a stateful OO paradigm) but is declarative -- they call it results-oriented. But read the alert box, and it will be astoundingly clear that, instead of issuing commands to modify state (ie OO), the new thing is to instead specify your goals. There must be a good PL angle to this story! Ah well, back to doing some good old command-line stuff for me -- since at least that is based on a functional paradigm!
