If the problem is large, and has some form of "interchangeable pieces" that moreover must be possible to add later on (windows in a GUI, devices in an operating system, ...) the organization OOP discipline provides is unavoidable. You certainly can program OOP without language support (see e.g. the Linux kernel). | |
| Mar 27, 2014 at 23:05 | comment | added | babou | I have respect for experimental studies. There is however the issue of ascertaining that they address the right questions. There are too many variables in what may be called OOP, and in ways of using it, for a single study to be meaningful, imho. Like many things in programming, OOP was created by experts to meet their own needs. When discussing the usefulness of OOP (which I did not take as the OP's topic, which is rather whether it addresses a shortcoming of procedural programming), one may ask: what feature, for whom, for what purpose? Then only do field studies become fully meaningful. | |
