Just a slow-to-die 90’s fad in the end.

OOP is considerably older than '90s. Turbo Pascal 5.5 had objects in 1989 and was far from the first.

Anyway structs plus FP is no less object oriented. You just don't have to write the methods in the same code module. See NIM Method Call Syntax for example: https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut2.html#object-oriented-programm...

Yes, I know NIM is not purely functional. Use F# instead to get a bit closer to purity, it also does OOP quite nicely as does pretty much any functional language that has closures.

OOP is a tool just as Git is a tool.

In fact, Erlang (and Elixir, I suppose) may be the only object-oriented programming language[1].

Fad means popular (in a deragetory way). 90’s was its popularity heyday.

So oop is when you `obj.methodName(args)` instead of `methodName(obj, args)`? Well if that’s all it is about then I can get behind it...
