Inspired by Rael, the Related: logs on the right are now generated by Google. Note: I initially tried the google.macros.box, but what I got was pretty much "Sam Ruby, Sam Ruby, Sam Ruby, ..." Booring.

Whoa. I found the following in my referrer logs: http://www.google.de/search?q=Sam&hl=de. My weblog on the first page of a google search for "Sam"? Yikes. So, I checked for Ruby.

Sigh. James Snell: Patterns of Change. What I described in Coping with Change is not related to late binding or IDispatch. It is all about things - even early bound things - continuing to work after change. I even gave a detailed scenario yesterday which did not involve any parsing of WSDL at runtime. In fact, no requirement for WSDL at all. Furthermore, the only mention of WSDL at all in Coping with Change is a passing reference as an aid to discovery... and as an aid to help static compiled languages and dynamic scripting languages to work better together.
