Hello

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Well, it seem that nobody cares to say hello, but then again, you have picked a pretty scary avatar. ;)

Anyway, welcome aboard.
This was supposed to be a cool signature...

Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California.
Hey...I live in California!
I don't care really, but OOP is useful IMO.

I play Guitar, Clarinet.

It just so happens that LSD and OOP were both invented around the same time at the University of California, Berkeley. Which is what brought on that quote: it's nothing to do with Clifornia as such, only the use of LSD and the fact they both came from the same place / time

OOP is useful... sometimes. It's not the perfect solution to every algorithmic problem. For instance, writing a simple utility to parse text in an OOP style will probably increase amount of code by two-fold (in my experience, anyway).

It's simply like choice of language: don't write throw-away text utilities in C++: it's a waste of effort. Perl or Python (or even AWK!) would be much better. Similarly, Perl is not the correct language for database servers.

Edit: Fixed spelling.
