Writing a new spreadsheet or word-processing program these days is a tedious process, like building a skyscraper out of toothpicks. Object-oriented programming will change that. (...) Because these objects will work with a wide range of interfaces and applications, they will also eliminate many of the compatibility problems that plague traditional software. That object oriented programming thingy looks really cool! I've heard someone is writing a C with classes to do that. Once this is released, I'm confident bugs will be gone forever.
