Quotes

Although some object-oriented software is reusable, what makes it reusable is its bottom-upness, not its object-orientedness.

If SETI@home works, for example, we'll need libraries for communicating with aliens. Unless of course they are sufficiently advanced that they already communicate in XML.[2]

Object-oriented programming is exciting if you have a statically-typed language without lexical closures or macros. To some degree, it offers a way around these limitations.[3]
