I was going to let this branch die, but after trying to consider The Tau and looking at your over simplification of the problem at hand I couldn't help myself. In order for programming to progress to the next natural level ( i.e programs writing programs for programs ) rather than simply getting bogged down with delivery systems, content management, and business logic, the code itself must be capable of encapsulation in order to managage the complex relationships that need to exist. Datastructures and event handlers are wonderfull from a programers mindset, but from the perspective of technological advancement they are impediments to the larger problems and abstractions. (i.e. Getting computers to solve real world problems ) Scalable doesn't just relate to the number of users that can access a system, but also to the ability to handle fast change at any level of the problem domain with the least impact to process and product. If it we're simply about size for the sake of size OO itself is discounted as a viable option. Do you really think the folks at Sun got up one day, smoked a dubie and said, "Whoa Dude.. Lets right a really complicated fat language that seems intense... cuz if its fat and complicated everybody will think its cool man... we'll make sooo much cash man" ?
