I've always thought OOP was an overused pattern. If you don't need inheritance or information hiding, what does OO give you that can't be accomplished more easily with functions and arrays/hashtables?

Whether inheritance is an essential quality of OOP is IMHO debatable. This leaves us with data abstraction and polymorphism.

  And Haskell solves those two problems pretty nicely without OOP.
