And I am still reaching for CERNLIB (PAW) any time I need to plot something. Could never understand why Rene Brun, Perevozchikov, et al. got so attracted to the OOP back then.

Back then OOP was everywhere in C++ world.

I think that HNers that bash J2EE and JEE designs never had the "pleasure" to enjoy mid-90's C++ OO frameworks.

Yet, it was really upsetting for me to see the smart and very experienced guys who wrote the beautiful CERNLIB to fall into this.
