== Quote from crap ([email protected])'s article > the horrible template abusing bloat library
I'm sorry, but this is what I **like** about Phobos. I really hate nominative typing and traditional Java/C++-style OO for most things. It's verbose, requires too much design to be set in stone upfront, and is not all that flexible. In my own programs I tend to only use it when I really need flexibility at runtime, not just at design/development or compile time, which is a minority of cases. Furthermore, for most things a few megabytes of executable size bloat is **not a practical issue**. For the types of programs I tend to write at least, the disk and memory space the code takes up (100s of KB to a few MB) is negligible compared to the size of the data the at the code operates on (100s of MB).
