So, just to clarify before people think I'm an OOP advocate and it's perfect, I don't, but I think it has it's place.

> There are definite degrees to this. Agree. The question is, does OOP leads to more buggy code? Maybe yes, so we ban OOP? Because that's the sentiment I get whenever someone is against it. In your example, is it ok allocating a new object every time? If you can't afford to do it, what do you do?

> Why do you believe that's the reason why? I think in terms of proportions. For example, if you have 80% of all code written is OOP, chances that you'll find a bad OOP is greater than finding bad code in any other paradigm.

What if people learn programming using FP or DOP? There would be less buggy code? I don't know, but I think in the end, OOP would become the popular choice because, in my opinion, it fits very well the way we think about our world and we would end having this same conversation.
