A program starts with one piece of data as the input and produces another as its output. Mainstream languages attempt to abstract over that using object oriented semantics. While practical value of such abstraction is not entirely clear, there are some tangible problems associated with this approach. Let’s take a look at some drawbacks to structuring programs using OO style…
