Keith,

 

I wouldn't necessarily characterize it as harder, just unnecessary ;-)

There are 2 fallacies here.

1. That semantic richness introduced via techniques such as domain-specific languages can only be done procedurally.  In fact, the opposite is true.  Knowledge management techniques such as ontologies are based directly on object concepts.
   
2. That OO thinking is somehow "harder" than procedural thinking.  Bizarrely, the only people who find this are programmers.  Business people, as I have tried to explain, naturally think in OO terms.

All the best

It may seem like we are going backwards in the software industry but actually I see a lot of progress.  In the distinction between a service and an object I also see the potential for introducing domain specific languages and for a helpful division of labor between those who develop services (and should know about and take advantage of the benefits of OO) and those who consume the services (who should not have to deal with that level of complexity).
