I guess the only thing I would add is that discussions like this
tend to be too theoretical/academic and lead DIRECTLY to
the large cost that you were talking about earlier.
I find that these academic discussions rarely tend to
optimize my development.

They ARE good to have, they're fun, and they lubricate my brain,
to let details slip in more easily, but what you really
need to do is finish this piece of code exactly as YOU THINK
it should be done and run with it for a while.

Then:
change it, realizing that the OO model is not quite correct,
rewrite it and run with it for a while.

Repeat this a couple of times until you get it correct.

I.e. ignore us all except for any fun and eduction, gleaning
bits of information from the conversation.

The first 'n' OO projects will consist of MASSIVE
rewrites on a large scale. Don't worry, you'll get better.

Let experience with your real code (possibly saving old
incantations of it for reference) be your final guide.

Keep up the discussion though. 8-)


"The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society
  is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and
  something like mathematics, and something like language, and
  something like thought, and art, and information...
  but software is not in fact any of those other things."
