> I‘m against object oriented programming.

I just went back and read your profile again. Just wondering, what do you support instead? (At a guess I'd say functional programming?)

I've often heard and suspected for myself after gaining some "industry experience" that the Object-Oriented principles taken by themselves without a strong lead designer who is vocal about (his or her) strong opinions and willing to call out bloated, poorly thought-out designs... will simply tend toward generating a Big Ball of Mud, or "Shanty-town" code.

Is this generally how you feel about the subject? I think we'd probably get along well and I'd certainly like to hear from you again.
