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.

That makes me sad that D has Java's object model rather than
let's say, scala's (which work with traits/interfaces).
