The kind of thinking that OOP it's just a *super* feature of a programming language that should be used only for highly complex problems, is what I want to eradicate. OOP doesn't stand neither as a language feature nor as extra capabilities of a language, on the contrary, it takes some freedom away from the programmer. I see OOP as a way of thinking and working, that should be used in the most complex problem and the most simple problem equally.
Err. OOP came about exclusively as a way to manage complexity. I'm not so sure about making a simple problem complex just so you can simplify it with OOP. And it *is* only a feature of PHP. So unlike other languages, you actually *do* have a choice. Of course I LOVE having the choice, which is why I LOVE PHP. I get so much out of POOPH every time I dive into it.
Nope, I caught your joke, and I found it amusing. Though every joke hides a truth, as I can explain a hello world in oop laughing and being serious at the same time.
My ex girlfriend always used that line on me. Drove me mad. :P I wish we could continue this over a round of beers at the pub. I think we'd have fun batting this back and forth. :) And we won't fill up The List's inbox in the process.
