I agree but "moderation" isn't the best word. OOP is good when used appropriately and not when you fixate that everything has to be within the OOP structure. It's the same thing with languages, IMO. People try to shoehorn tasks into a language when it would be better off in another language.

> OOP is good when used appropriately What are its appropriate uses? The more I program the fewer I see.

  Projects describing the real world. A car have a motor which have pistons. But can be a mess for inappropriate projects for sure.

    > Projects describing the real world. Yeah, one of the 3 big lies of computer programming: thinking that we should program around a model of the world. We should program around a model of the data that we need to transform to solve whatever problem we need to solve. Even in simulation software like games. A car have a motor which have pistons. But why would I model that? To be honest I’m not sure OOP is appropriate even for CAD software here. Now maybe we could give the user the ability to make a mesh and call that "piston", an let them copy & paste that mesh to build a super-mesh they would call "motor", but this kind of composition is not quite OOP, and the appropriate way to program this stuff is probably not OOP either.
