It has become popular to hate OOP so now people find every opportunity to discredit it. But yeah, every tool has a purpose. Don't like it in your workplace? Make a fact based case against it and do something about it.

Great message to put someone in a box "if you're black and a programmer we need you to fill our diversity quota so uproot your life and come here so we can virtue signal and post pictures of you on LinkedIn"

Hire good people, don't deny them on the basis of their immutable qualities. Don't pick someone because they look a certain way, but because they can do the work.

Seems like a lot of people like that idea, what a shame
