I am a casual programer, meaning the program gets thrown out after its run, so nobody ever sees it, just its output. I write pseudo-code thats a mix of basic, fortran, c, with some lisp/apl stuff in there if theres recursion/multi-d-arrays. I like perl because it can usually run the pseudo-code with less changing the syntax than the other languages I have around.

I learned programing 15 years ago before OO became the fad with professors, and always suspected its main advantage was to make grading easier. People that learned programming under OO like it, analogous to people who learned to drive an automatic.

Manual cars are hard to come by nowdays, and so will be modules that work right without OO, so I guess we'll all get assimilated eventually. There is no escape.
