Classes are just functions for constructing certain kinds of objects using open recursion. There's nothing wrong with them per se, but their elevated status is confusing. It also might lead to trying to solve all complexity concerns using open recursion. I'm interested in clear analysis about how good or bad that idea is honestly. At this point I just find it (a) not personally necessary and (b) interesting.

As to the author's problem? I imagine it might have some deep seated cause related to the above, but that keeps getting translated to abstract disdain for the concept. Which is tragic.
