I don't understand why so many people are so much impressed the idea
of OO.  We are not programming the codes by Object Oriented way, like
those languages idea may be based on. Are we saving the data with
programs (methods)? Are we inheriting the interfaces someone wrote?
Don't you want to access to the data directly? 

I believe the good things with Java is only the 1) garbage collections,
and 2) the coding style of avoiding the global variables as much as
possible. But these points could be accomplished with even C, if the 
project is managed by the small number of people (less than 10).

Regarding C++, I hope I can find some friends who can laugh together
with this old page :-)
