Bit old hat really! Isn't the next big thing functional programming with immutable objects and pipelines? OO is already the dominant paradigm but the shift is towards functional to make use of parallel processing on multi-core machines. I remember how mind bending it was trying to get my head around Scala. It's a different world.

     We saw it coming...

     Down in the trenches where I was, no programmer believed that the future
     would become O-O. Not one. When the glorious O-O vision was explained to 
us,
     we politely nodded and got back to work.

But is this a self-fulfilling prophecy?
