Explore data-oriented programming in this GOTO Book Club interview with author Yehonathan Sharvit and James Lewis. Discover how to reduce software complexity by representing data through generic immutable structures, simplifying state management, and streamlining concurrency. Learn about treating data as data, the importance of immutability, and how to separate code from data. Gain insights into designing data models for business entities, implementing state management systems without mutating data, and writing data-oriented unit tests. Understand the language-agnostic nature of this paradigm, applicable to JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Clojure, Java, and C#.
