I have kind of despised object-oriented programming for a long time now (This was a result of bad experiences on large projects. It actually made things worse than better.). Until I found this section in Xavier Amatriain's PhD thesis. It is a nice view on the matter from Kristen Nygaard, one of the "fathers" of object-oriented programming (the other was Ole-Johan Dahl). His view I actually like.
After reading that section in the thesis and browsing through Nygaard's and Dahl's homepage, I felt a bit sad for not getting to meet them in person. Now I respect for OO as it was envisioned and find it a worthy idea. Misused in practice most of the time.

This is the repository of my wild thoughts, general comments and ideas that I don't have the time to actually work on.
