It seems far too many people conflate classes and oop.
You can do oop without classes (whether you would want to is
another question all together).
You can also use class-types without doing oop.
A class-type is just a type. If you're against a class-type, you
must also be against an int type, a char type, a function type,
and enum type.....
Now *clearly* many D users appear to be in the anti oop camp.
But please don't be in the anti class-type camp.
Class 'types' really are an extremely useful and important tool
in software engineering, regardless of whether you use them as a
tool to do oop, or not.
That the D module dissolves that perimeters of my types - in
relation to other code in the same module, is a really odd design
decision that I cannot, as yet, get my head around. That is, I
can see no possible way in which this design decision can enhance
my coding, even after having given if way more thought than it
deserves.
