How to REALLY start thinking in terms of objects? Why do you think OOP is the way to code which is easy to read and modify? |

Why can't there be an “universal” programming language that serves all purposes? @DeveloperDon, not all languages can have while statements, not all languages need statements at all. |

How prototypal inheritance is practically different from classical inheritance? yay, best answer IMO! |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? I've recommended them to do this, but I guess for some it is too slow and error-prone process, that they decide to skip it. |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? @Leigh - I think they haven't trained the analytical part of their brain enough and they are approaching the assignments with brute force -- their work method is not far from exhaustive search. And explaining the alternative approach to them is hard. |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? Thanks! You gave me lot of food for thought. Initially I thought that maybe they just can't imagine that there is a structure and compositional meaning inside a piece of code. Now I'm thinking that maybe they actually did struggle to understand it but failed and used copy-paste as last resort. |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? ML would be pretty good choice! But Python also fits with your first two points and it's easy to use (meaning no big technical hassles). |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? For some of those students, lazyness and/or deadlines are certainly the cause. But some are working really hard... |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? Good point! I've done this and I believe this has guided many students on right track. But not all. |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? And I totally favour incremental exercises! |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? Well the copy-paste is not the problem, problem is that they don't understand what they are copying. |

How can I deal with the cargo-cult programming attitude? The problem is that they are copy-pasting without seeing the structure of the code -- they just think that this kind of pattern was useful last time, so hopefully it also fits here. They hope and try instead of being confident. |
