We don’t have a mathematical model for OOP


That's an extremely good point.

To be fair, as I've said elsewhere on the thread I use OO in places - like if I expose an API to whatever i'm writing that will often be OO.

And I tend to use OO here and there for other reasons when I'm stuck in a hard OO env like Java or C#

I limit its use though:

1. Does it help explain the code?
2. Does it work with the rest of the code rather than against it?
3. Does it encapsulate an abstraction such that it makes it simpler to employ?

There are so many times when the answers to those questions are no, and I see people using objects. See @SanderRossel's console app upthread - he was ribbing me but it's a good example of class misuse.
