This article seems to fit the template: Here are some abstract reasons why paradigm X is bad, and here is a class of problems that have a more straightforward solution in paradigm Y, therefore paradigm Y is better than X.

The real message here is that if you have a problem that nicely maps onto a relational database then use the database-like approach instead of OOP.

In my domain, I work on algorithms for a very specialized class of graphs whose structure and manipulation must obey a diverse set of constraints. I have tried implementing the core ideas using multiple popular paradigms but so far I did not find anything better than OOP.
