You don’t agree with an idea so it’s silly? Passing around state via variables is no more tedious than the extra syntax for class definitions, constructors, member variable access, extra semantics related to objects, extra keywords related to visibility, etc.
You can encapsulate functionality without objects. There is nothing that you can do with an object that you can’t do with a closure, and the closure version will be 1/10th the size and have 1/10th the semantic programming language elements. That is why you see ‘object-hating’ all over the industry. It hasn’t lived up to its promise.
Objects aren’t simpler, inherently. It’s just what you know, today, and you’re unwilling to acknowledge your biases.
