OK, OK, we've had enough mature, adult responses to Scott Guthery's
striking dismissal of the entire OO kingdom!  Now let's hear a medley
of responses at the same same intellectual level as the original post!

<< Playground-Rap version >>

OO programming suits me fine (but Scott doesn't get it)!
Nyeah, Nyeah, Nyeah Nyeah, Nyeah!
My Inheritance is better than thine (but Scott, you don't get it!)
Nyeah, Nyeah, Nyeah Nyeah, Nyeah!

<< Country version >>

Looking for OO in all da wrong places, you're just looking for OO...

<< Pop Insect version >>

Lose C in the sky with Emeralds...

<< Classical version >>

Dum, dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum dum...


<<OK, so there was only so far I could push this idea.  Wanna make a video?>>

At any rate, Scott, there are too many strikingly different OO languages
out there for you to get us to dismiss them so easily.  I get the impression
you only know the boring garden-variety ones like C++ and SmallTalk.
Give them (and all the others) the 30 YEARS that FORTRAN and LISP have had to
get the implementations tuned beyond belief, and those of us who live that
long will see how it turns out.

Oh yeah, and in response to your "Cheers"---Twin Peaks to you, babe!
