Re: @Ian Joyner
"Quite frankly, you are coming off as a jaded, disillusioned academic."
You descend to ad hominem. I just wrote this in another answer: my first exposure to this world was I was taught Simula by a professor who had worked in the UK with some of the great minds in computing (he did not say it at the time, but I have found out since). But the term OO was not mentioned. I then became one of the first adopters of OO in this country, have done languages and compilers, many large software projects, and studied OO deeply.
So you can take your false assessments and you know what to do with them.
As for giving you (Jake, whoever you are) examples – well you can do your own research. C++ people just bash everything.
