Abstract :
Reflects on the contributions made by object-oriented (OO) development and its future. Don´t blame OO programming in general for the limitations of those who don´t know how to apply the principles! Only a minority of the industry has tried seriously and without compromise. The experience of others-those who go at it half-heartedly-is not a good technology. So the author´s answer to the OO critics is the application to object technology of Gandhi´s retort when he was asked for his thoughts about Western civilization: it would be a good idea
