How can the author make the argument that OOP makes things too tightly coupled, then claim that it's up to the developer to check if every single coupling in their code is correct? The coupling is still tight, it's just not enforced by the compiler. There's a reason for tight coupling in OOP: it's better to let the compiler check for correctness rather than every single developer out there.



> to check if every single coupling in their code is correct?

The author is not addressing the couplings in their code itself, but the code couplings between their code and all libraries in the Julia ecosystem, which is an altogether more audacious goal.
