I agree, but I can also understand that the familiarity of OOP patterns really helps “grease the wheels” for a lot of people. With something new (even if strictly superior in capability) they now need to re-think questions of architecture and code organization every time they sit down to write code. Personally, I found multiple dispatch (and Julia) to be a breath of fresh air because I never found classes/OOP too natural (for the kinds of problems I’m most interested in) and hated the amount of boilerplate & repetition. But if someone comes in with a different perspective, the radical modularity and code reuse can take some time to get used to :-)
