Bro - Computer programming is all about syntax.
Saying OOP is a "programming with lots of syntactical sugar" damn - what? of course - thats why its good!
If you don't like OOP - good for you. If like my father - he don't like computers - he believes he can write with pen and paper much better. he never had a paper crash on him. Explain to him that he can copy and paste things he already wrote, spellcheck etc...
OOP rocks and explaining it here will be futile and stupid - there are books about it - and the fact that so many people use it - and that the better software are written in OOP prooves enough to me. I can do in OOP a complex thing in a year - which will take me 3 in procedural programming (and even then I will try to mimic OOD) and still will be not-mantainable.
I would love to discuss this but lets open a new thread about OOP. Call it "OOP sux! .... not !/?"
