As someone who started out flipping rocker switches to input machine code
I find it more useful to embrace and understand the "new" technologies
despite
what I may or may not feel about them. IOW try to put your feelings aside
about OO, if you can get to a point where you can work with it (even
though you may dislike it) your options will become much wider.


I guess we are much the same age. I have understood and embraced many a new
technology and I have tried C++ several times but something in my gut just
feels horribly wrong about it. The nearest I have got is object Pascal in
the form of Delphi and currently Lazarus - that I can and do work with. It
still feels like everyone is falling into the OOP is a panacea trap - not
eveything is best described by an object or a class, information hiding is
not always a 'good thing' TM and for event driven systems, which is what I
mostly do, OOP is plain inelegant.
