Take any Object-Oriented language. Then modify its definition so that any class can have just a single method (as opposed to any number of methods).
You now have a new language which you could call a procedural- or functional language based on the set of features that were present in the language you started from. But it is no longer an Object-Oriented language.
To make it more concrete start with Java compiler but modify it so it only allows max one method per class.
You now have NOOP-Java. (Non Object-Oriented Java).
Are you happy? Is this NOOP-Java somehow better than the plain old Java? If not really then removing the OOP-ness did not really help did it?. OOP is good. You want to keep OOP, not remove it.
OOP lets you have multiple functions associated with a data-structure the details of which you hide behind those functions (a.k.a. methods). I think THAT is the essence of OOP. You can have multiple functions attached to the same data-structure and only those specific functions can read and write that data-structure.
Isn't that something that really is so useful that getting rid of that feature, getting rid of "OOPness", would be crazy?
