The article resonates with me. I’ve spent quite a few years coaching and dealing with developers with a heavy electronics background work in OO/C++ environments and I came to the conclusion that they would be more comfortable and competent in C. All smart people but the bells and whistles of C++ AND OOP just was confusing. I’m surprised at some comments here claiming that OO is ‘friendlier to the programmer’, I would put money on the average developer being able to work their way around even the Linux kernel quicker than a comparably sized C++ code base with all it’s OO goodness. What OOP was trying to solve back in the day was and still is a real problem but it annoys me how many additional problems ‘full blown’ OOP introduces.
