>>I find this kind of statement w/o any basis. I want to hope I'm misinterpreting it, but your statement seems clear cut and in context. Surely there are OO scenario's/designs/languages/etc that can bring this about, sometimes, but surely this can be this case in non-OO scenario's too.<< Haha, if you express it this way I have to agree with you. However, I have never been able to write a program that was smaller and faster with an OO-language than in another one. MicroS**t claims their programs are OO. If so, it is nearly reason enough not to try to use it. >>Re "plain good (not too structured) programming": what is that? Surely a roundabout (hacking??) approach is generally not optimal for most real code. Or did you mean something else?<< I did speak of something else. I am very much against hacking (not for pleasure of course!). What I meant is the kind of reasoning that let the GOTO instruction present in PASCAL and the kind of reasoning that made the EXIT LOOP instruction appear.
