RE: OO Hybrids (was WANTED - RPG TALEN...)

[Bob Crothers <bcrothers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hans,

I agree that Object Oriented and Object based are 2 very 
different things.  I've been a big OO supported for a long time.

Can you expand on your statement "hybrids like C++ cause more 
problems than they're worth."?

Do you say this because you can still do straight line code in 
C++?

Granted, my first C++ program was really a C program that used 
some of the MFC collection classes.  My Second C++ program had 
some classes of my own, but still wasn't true OO.  By about the 
5th or so program, I was doing OO.

>From an academic point of view, I agree that programs 1 thru 4 
where violating everything they hold near and dear to their 
hearts.  However, it allowed me to "ease" into OO, and did show 
me the value of OO.  And kept my boss happy in that I was still 
productive during my learning curve.

Now days, I am an OO fanatic!  In fact, that is why I'm still 
pissed at Toronto for not allowing VAC++ to target V3R1!  It 
leaves me stuck in the ILE/C world.  And after falling in love 
with C++, ILE/C sucks.  As a result, my code is a mixture of 
ILE/C and RPG.
