Most of the hate towards OOP is misdirected. Java will be always 
slow because it always running in a VM, no structures so you have 
to rely on reference-type classes for everything. Other times 
it's on the developer. Thanks to my education, I first wanted to 
approach every problems in programming from an object-oriented 
viewpoint, since that was the only one we were taught (and I 
missed the classes on interfaces due to an incident, so I 
struggled to keep up).

You have to learn where to use what. I personally hate C and C++ 
precompiler macros more, which made porting LZHAM to D a 
nightmare sometimes. Some parts of the macros got completely 
eliminated since Fiber saves most things on the stack.
