Which I don't understand when it comes to something as simple as objects. But again I learned objects in smalltalk and Pascal... and really Object Pascal is where the concepts of them "clicked" and suddenly made sense.

Especially since late '80's I was building btree sorting engines that went under the hood of Clipper and Paradox. Building -- and processing -- self leveling binary trees without objects is a nightmare of passing shit around on the stack.

I really think because most people aren’t introduced to Objects in languages with good implementations, and instead learn half-assed cryptic ones like C, or hackish garbage kludges of a language like JavaScript, is why they get so confused on when, where, and why to use them.

When what you’re learning is shite, so are your skills.
