The comment you’re referring to merely refrains from making a value judgment, while you’re turning it into an approval of OOP.



>Thinking in OOP terms in, say, Java is great.

How did you interpret this statement?


Compare:

thinking in OOP terms in say, Haskell, is terrible. -> doesn’t mean OOP is terrible or that Haskell is terrible.

Thinking in functional terms in Haskell is great. -> doesn’t mean functional programming is great or that Haskell is great.

All it means is that the language is designed to be used with that paradigm.
