I don't miss those days.
Isn't it interesting how the "OOP everywhere" mantra of the late 80's /
early 90's has largely disappeared?
Yes, like every new paradigm I think people tend to go overboard.
Last example is the discussion about OOP vs FP, when most languages used
in such discussions are actually multi-paradigm, even if they are
functional first vs object first.
Regarding OO, it is interesting to see how after all those years we are
finally getting to the interfaces/traits usage coupled with generics,
with little inheritance. Ideally of course, many people still haven't
got to it.
