That's not even vaguely true. OO is the dominant paradigm in many areas of commercial programming, including web backends, phone client code, desktop applications using GUI frameworks, written in Python, Java, C#, Objective C, Ruby, etc. Think about Java -- that basically mandates OO.
- commandlinefan 6y ago> Think about Java -- that basically mandates OO. You would think, but in my experience most people write mostly procedural code in Java: data-only types that expose all their properties with getters and setters, and all methods (and most data) declared static. Most Java developers write as if they were working in COBOL.
- da39a3ee 6y agoInteresting; I admit I've been involved in very little java development. You must be exaggerating a tiny bit though? We all know that the kingdom of nouns gets a lot of stick, but surely it's not fair to characterise the community of java programmers as being numerically dominated by those who do not understand how to create distinct instances of their nouns?
