An interesting rant on object oriented programming in java, bordering on an attach actually. It was a good read, however, I think the story/metaphor went a bit far as I found myself forgetting what we were talking about as I went through it. Some quotes I liked:

• advocating Object-Oriented Programming is like advocating Pants-Oriented Clothing

• I’ve really come around to what Perl folks were telling me 8 or 9 years ago: “Dude, not everything is an object.”

If you read the article, make sure to read through some of the comments, ignoring the pat-on-the-back ‘great post’ ones of course.
