Funny how people are so eager to attribute bad design to the design philosophy it attempted to follow. This guy at least acknowledges that as a trap, but he doesn't convince me that he isn't falling into it. Furthermore, if you read his other post that he links to, he pretty much admits that the things he blames on OOP are due to incompetent use of OOP:

"The thing that wasn't equal was the tendency of humans to fill a new development technique's capacity for scalability as long as that technique is used. As OOP provided greater ability to write ever-larger programs, humans wrote ever-larger programs — even when they didn't need to do so (and probably shouldn't have done so)."




You did a very good job of paraphrasing much of what I said. I wonder why you phrased it as though you disagreed with me.
