| The criticism of OO is more Java and Gang of 4 related than anything. Two things get the enterprise devs of the mid 2000s going: Badmouthing Oracle. And complaining about refactoring someone's mess of an abstract factory. Especially I would say since microkernels just became incredibly widespread After Docker. Encapsulation is just not as necessary as it used to be. In C++ the whole encapsulated structs thingo works fine. It's there for when you need it, and you don't need it when you don't. Gang of 4-esque programming is okay when it's necessary. Sometimes you are making something with a 100 different buttons and you just gotta do it that way. However, for every project that needs all those factories and such, there's probably 5-10 where straight procedural/functional programming is perfectly fine. Or in the case of many data oriented applications, or when formal verification is needed, probably just straight better. Just do your abstraction with subroutine signatures and scope. |
