My understanding (albeit limited) is that O-O is modular programming with the concept of "inheritance" added. I am not sure if SP caused modular or vice-versa.

I can relate to this article even though I'm an ancient fart. O-O never made much sense to me, but confess that I never really dug into it either. When I got into this biz in the late 70s, the hot thing was Structured Programming. How many remember that SPF (before it was Interactive) originally meant Structured Programming Facility? As an application newbie I took a class in SP that I believe has informed my work ever since. You don't need O-O to avoid spaghetti code. You just need coding discipline that SP provides in a very sensible way. Structured programming eventually lost its cachet but not its intrinsic value. . .
