object scripts

[Stephen Barncard]

I've tried to wrap my head around this object/class stuff 20 times. 
It just doesn't speak to me. My brain doesn't work this way, and I 
wasted 300 bucks on Real Basic about 5 years ago trying it out. 
Couldn't make one thing work. C and it's derivatives were just too 
verbose and had to generate all those files just to make an app.

I loved 6502 and Z80 assembler and Forth, BASIC was easy, but 
Hypertalk  was the best of all worlds. It was nice to come home to 
Transcript.

Has it been proven that using OOP has provided programming 
efficiency, or is it happening because 'everybody is doing it'?? 
(this has happened before..)
