OOP Considered Harmful

Object-oriented programming encourages over-engineering, leads to slower code due to virtual lookups, and it doesn't solve any problems.

Objects are fine, but don't overuse them.

I've noticed this not just in OOP languages, but in HLLs in general. The more high-level a language is, and the less experienced the programmer, the more the memory allocator is relied upon. Back then we used to work with fixed buffers, and look at what we could do (Knuth's TeX, for example). Now it's as if every time you want some memory, you alloc some, then free it without a second thought afterwards (or forget, and you know the rest...)
