Object-Oriented Programming is Garbage: 3800 SLOC example [video]

OO in itself is not bad

But of course some people want to create 10 level class hierarchies, replace every 'if' with a subtype and using design patterns ate every occasion (especially the factory, so instead of writing 1 or 2 they will have a OneIntegerFactory, a TwoIntegerFactory, etc)

One advantage into Go for example is that it reduces the potential of misuse of "OO happy" people

My guess is that most "OOP-happy" people never get a chance to see beautiful procedural code so they're just afraid of it. A lot of developers nowadays are trained to smite any code that isn't following OOP principles or design.

Not necessarily afraid, possibly just unfamiliar. I can remember programming like this because C++ was the first language I knew well and I was interested in using all the available features. In my mind that was just how things were done. When I had more of an incentive to just Get Stuff Done and keep things maintainable simpler procedural code made a lot more sense.
