I believe object-orientation is dated

I don't know how many advances might be happening recently on some underground Smalltalk mailing-list, but in general, OOP has remained the same for decades.

Does everybody think it's good enough? Does nobody want new features that will make your code more expressive somehow? Watcha think?

I think it's naive to believe you're going to solve a complex problem just walking a straight line. Try that, and you'll end up like Rasmus: "I just kept adding the next logical step". That's the main reason why PHP is such a shit.

If your system is complex and you don't take the time to architect it well, you won't go too far before regretting that mistake. Or just being stupid and thinking that "well, programming is really hard, right?"... >__>
