OOP: THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO PROGRAMMING

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is the worst thing that happened to programming due to its inherent flaws and unnecessary complexity compared to Functional Programming (FP). Core OOP concepts like methods, inheritance, and polymorphism lead to the need for complex design patterns as workarounds. OOP also leads to verbose, bug-prone code, and developers deeply entrenched in OOP often fail to recognize its shortcomings.
