Here is a summary of several excellent reasons why TIP #257 should be rejected:
- An object system fell asleep on my brother's face when he was an infant, causing him to suffocate. (He got better when he began to use procedural techniques.)
- OO causes cancer.
- OO programmers steal all of our parking spaces.
- OO is bad because someone, somewhere, might have fun with it (the Puritan counterargument)
- I don't need OO. I also don't need non-english languages, so the I8N support should go.
- OO makes baby jesus cry.
If you think of any more, please feel free to add them here.
