My sentiments exactly, kinda surprised this title made it so high up!
OOP has some fantastic applications and may have been oversold to the author for a project he worked on. OOP(s)!
- sklogic 11y ago> OOP has some fantastic applications Yes, OOP is great for agent-based simulations. Only. This is a fantastic, exciting area, but it is extremely niche and tiny. Anywhere else, OOP is nothing but an obstacle.
- tim333 11y agoIt's kind handy for using other peoples code. Like if you want a couple of Google maps on your page you can create a couple of map objects and set their location, colouring, add and remove markers etc. I'm not sure how you'd do that neatly without objects. Beyond that I'm happy without it.
- sklogic 11y ago> It's kind handy for using other peoples code. The heavily OOP libraries with deep hierarchies are the least pleasant to use. With all those horrible enterprisey FactoryFactoryFactoryFactories, etc. Flat, fluent, ideally DSLish APIs are much easier to use.
- muzmath 11y agoI don't think anyone is saying don't use objects, it's the OOP paradigm that is being critiqued.
