Agree. Running into OOP as the foundation of AP Comp Sci cirriculum in high school almost made me hate programming ... and that takes some effort because leading to the class I was programming out of joy every minute that I could.
If it was that bad for me, I can only imagine what it was like for the rest of the class(granted, there were only 5 of us in total).
- dustingetz 16y agothat's a bit strong. even if the industry is shifting paradigms (maybe), OOP is the basis of many production systems and certainly today not an, um, incorrect choice for many problems.
- SwellJoe 16y agoNo one is suggesting OOP isn't useful. It's just not being used for introductory curriculum...and I'm pretty much certain they're right. The HN title is inflammatory and misleading, in that it omits the word "introductory", which is a pretty important word in this context.
