OOP *is* usable.
there is no sarcasm in that. /srs. OOP works great in enterprise. kind of like how lobotomies work great to increase the productivity of enterprise managers AND to ameliorate the suffering of employees -

C++ is typically taught as "the hard java" too, which fucking sucks. proper computer science courses tend to like C though from what i can tell -

have you ever read doom's source code? it's like poetry. same with linux or BEAM. -
