Everyone knows about the crazy dude who runs the Time Cube site. He's genuine crazy (or an awesome troll).
Today I found this guy: OOP Criticism (warning: will likely only be interesting to those with a passing knowledge of programming).
I don't think it's a troll... and it's obviously not quite as crazy as the Time Cube dude, but it sure reads a lot like it.
At one point he compares OOP to communism.
I certainly didn't read the whole thing, but after scrolling through it and letting my eyes glaze over a few times, it occurred to me that this page looked like it was the creation of a procedural programmer. If he'd taken an object oriented approach, he'd have split it up into cohesive chunks, instead of one long infinite page.
Any coders got a comment on this? I mean, OO isn't a silver bullet, by any means, but this dude just sounds like he's too old to try a different approach.
