I think there are some interesting things happening with OO. One, is that
people don't want to spend time learning about good OO design when their copy
and paste editors work 100 to 1000 times faster. One or two off code cloning
is perhaps the fasted 'reuse' strategy around. When you do that, inheritence
and object hierarchies are not as interesting. When you pass XML or other
non-live objects over the wire, type consistency is a non-issue. So, again,
having an object type that both sides recognize as the same 'type' doesn't
really matter.
From my viewpoint, what is happening with scripting languages and other
related
technolgies is that the new kids on the block who don't have time or want to
spend time learning (the gaming generation at its best, play before pay), are
choosing the simplest most tool driven path that they can find.
