Unfortunately, the article did not have what I think is the best Joe Armstrong quote on OOP. Here it is as quoted in: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2011/07/19/you-wanted-banana/ https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2011/07/19/you-wanted-banana/ >I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not functional languages.
