OOP is ?

Why do people hate on OO so much.  Do a degree it was forced down my throat in college and many of its principles I disagree with.  It almost seemed design to cause code bloat and run slower than a non OO language, but still has some reasonable application in modern programming.

Compiler implementations plus bad modelling cause code bloat, not OO itself. Dynamic dispatch can be slow, but isn't that irrelevant with modern cpus/vms?

>>1,2
But I agree that the OO paradigm is being forced down for quite a long time, and with several bad examples (classic: roles through inheritance).

Yup, I don't know what kind of bad joke is data hiding. And it's weird how people model extensible libraries with fixed class hierarchies.
