New Erect Ape
(* Just because you don;t like OO, doesn't mean NO-ONE should *)

1. I am saying that OOP is currently over-hyped and forced on too many programmers in practice. There are fewer places to get to get away from it.

2. OO fans here still seem to think that OOP is *objectively* better, and that those who don't like it are flawed upstairs not to see that. CRC called OOP "a natural and logical extension to structured programming" (paraphrased) as if it is an upright-walking ape.

If the hype about OO died down and more p/r techniques and API's came into the mix, then I would not be fussing nearly as much.

New Hey.. I feel the *same* way about the tyranny of
Organized Religions\ufffd - and especially re the secondary effects, all so neatly chronicled by now.

But since this mindset leads to the periodic heaped dead burned bodies (in God's Name), I tend to think about the topic as not.. a mere bagatelle. But I don't expect the momentum to cease any time soon - not even as WW-The Last opens. 'We' aren't ready to break this habit, no matter the Next body-count. Or the Next.

Maybe it's ditto re Your fav Windmill? (however a much more trivial ultimate decision, it would seem.) Hell, maybe *none* of this stuff is Real?
