> Extremist languages like Java force you to think of everything in terms of objects.
Erm, Java is by far not the most OO programming language there is.
For example, primitive types are not objects (no, auto-boxing doesn't make them objects).
> But is Object Orientation (OO) a good idea?
Probably as good as any other programming paradigma out there.
> Does it have problems?
Sure, like every other language as well.
> Is it the right tool for everything?
No, like every other language isn't as well.
> Let’s explore some of these questions in a slightly tongue in cheek and cathartic rant.
And here I stopped reading. If you need to rant, do it over coffee and don't waste my time when even your introduction is not witty enough to keep my interest.
