Perhaps interesting, but also annoying and backwards. OOP was 
developed in Simula in 1961-1967 by Nygaard and Dahl. Dijkstra 
wrote about structured programming in the late 60s, and Dahl, 
Dijkstra and Hoare coauthored the book "Structured Programming" 
in 1972...

If OOP turns into a personal disaster it probably is the result 
of not actually trying to implement an OO-model, which is the 
purpose of having OO mechanisms in a language. However, nobody 
has ever suggested that you should only do OO modelling, and you 
can  implement an OO model in most languages, even C. 
OO-modelling is a tool.
