Is OOP overrated?

[Xenon]

use of Memory
bloating up short code
and the lack of knowledge what code especially is executed in a more complicated program (multiple parents oop like for example c++)

1. OOP does not use a lot of memory in its nature. It depends on the implementing language.
2. True, but how many tiny projects are developed and sold commercially?
3. Depends on the implementing OO model. C++'s is a piece of crap with multiple inheritance as you mention, but Java and, dare I say, PHP get it right with single inheritance. Java supports interfaces too which is like pseudomultiple inheritance but far safer.

But I digress. I will remove the gun at your head forcing you to write OO code.

1. well, on it's nature, nothing uses memory, it's always the implementing which uses memory, but storing objects and functions will use always more memory than functions alone, that cannot be covered by any implementation
2. hmm, i regard a lot of php projects as "small", but thats a pov
3. you said i should mention disadvantages of oop itself, and multiple inheritance belongs to oop, it's not a speciality of c++ (on the other hand, i don't know other oop languages right now which use it, but that's just because i have just thought of the default languages right now )

But yeah let's stop here.

And you don't have to force me wrinting oop code. I code that way already in a lot of projects as well, i just said, that i think it is overrated, not that it is generally a bad thing, something completely different
