Let me clarify. I love OOP. I developed a lot of functionality using OOP and found it is very productive and highly extensible approach. So what's the point?
The Good
What is primary goal of OOP? What are the benefits? Why is it so popular? Where is a magic?
These are simple questions. And I would like to have simple answers. I guess you too. I have this one: it allows to significantly improve the code reuse. How? Because you may use abstractions instead of concrete classes and this fact allows to reuse the functionality based on those abstractions. Why does it matter? Because code reuse is the most effective way to speed up your development.
The Bad
So what's wrong with OOP? Is it the holy grail and silver bullet together? Unfortunately the answer is: no. On the one hand we have development speed up. On the other hand we have the price to use abstractions. Let's discuss it in detail.
