> For 90% of web development cases, simply storing and retrieving objects from a persistent store is enough of an API. "90%", that's quite a specific number. Most of what I've written for the past fifteen years is web apps, and I'd say about 10% fall into the "all I need is put and get objects" category. Especially once I knew how to use SQL effectively, especially once I knew how to work with ACID, these features became irreplaceable in almost every project I've worked with. IMHO it's all about what you're familiar with. Rich Hickey thinks we're morons for using OOP, as he's a brilliant functional guy. Shrugs.
