I often feel like this kind of 'jokes' are trying too hard.
FizzBuzz Enterprise was fun when it first came out, and I know
it's popular to hate on OOP programming, especially Java. But
the fact is, a very big portion of software was built using
OOP, and many of the hated design patterns have a place in
programming. Sure, it doesn't provide witty one-liner quicksort
examples, but when you have a group of people, having to
integrate multiple webservices/databases, these kind of layered
code architecture comes in handy.
Of course sometimes people go too far, trying to make the code
generic and fit every usecase, breaking YAGNI.
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.
