What's wrong with code with no class-related language constructs.
And please, let's stay away from the "that's soooo 1985" stuff. I'm not swayed at
all by the Appeal to Novelty falacy.
Sure, if I need a chunk of code to represent a cannonball, or a piece of code to be
a template (generic definition, not C++ definition) that others will add to, or a
piece of code to represent a data store, OOP is nice or essential. But for other
things, what is wrong with modular structured code designed with functional
decomposition?
