This video, along with many others I've watched from him, espouses the purity of data, and talks about not tangling data with functions (object orientation).
In this video, he seems to go along and say that values are great for software projects that use multiple languages, in part because values are universal meaning one doesn't need to translate classes into multiple languages.
However, regardless of whether you use an object oriented design or not, don't you usually have a set of functions you tend to perform on a set of data or values? For instance, you may not wrap your customer data behind a class and methods, but there are still going to be some rules related to all that data you're passing around. So in the multiple languages scenario, wouldn't you still have to translate those rules from language to language?
You would. The thing is that it's supposed to be easier and involving less code, since you don't need to port the interface boilerplate. At least that's how I understood it.
