Far worse is the attempt to use OO techniques in non-OO languages.
What nonsense! JavaScript didn't get classes until ES6 but everybody was
implementing objects using closures and the prototype. Same with Lua, no
classes but OO can be implemented using meta-tables.
"Where is this function called?"
"A pointer to it is saved in a struct."
After that, it's anyone's guess.
In a language like C which lacks generics how would you write a generic
data structure library without using function pointers for comparators?
the tips how to improve procedural programming from minute 33 ca.
This is so true, but certain tips require a language more powerful than C,
for example PL/1 or Pascal, which supports nesting of procedure and
function definitions.
I sometimes perceive nested procedure definitions as a primitive ancestor
of Objects -- they contain data and methods (so does a DCB.)
I suspect language designers eschew nested procedures for the poor
excuse that a procedure must be identified by two pointers, not just one.
I also liked the term "curly brace languages", which I never heard
before :-)
Which is PL/I?
Even if you don't agree with the opinions expressed here, it is IMO of
great value to look at these videos.

actually, why is smalltalk so close to objective C. Because of a Byte

Some are provocative. There are many others. I really like "going
virtually" to these conferences.
