obviously neither is universally better, or the question wouldn't exist so it depends on what you're trying to do and what your needs are, and even maybe what your personality is I would probably generally learn towards OOP myself given my personality and approach to things

OOP is actually terrible though which is why we use it for most things

i have seen so much awful OOP code, studiously avoiding its strengths while diving headfirst into its weaknesses, that i understand why people believe this but i have seen good OOP code and it is very, very good indeed

smalltalk and squeak always seemed really interesting. the idea that you could pick any part of the system and see and edit its source code live is really cool

evil is fun though and nice for prototyping

Replying to @chaosprime @browserdotsys and
no and no. if your prototype is evil what are the chances your production model will not be evil?

depends entirely on whether you have the courage and empowerment to do what you should do with your prototype and delete it

*boss voice* doesn't sound very agile to me. anyway we don't have time for you to reimplement it so this is the production system now

that's the "empowerment" part all right
