Perhaps in the world databases and buisness applications, OO is nothing special. I was simply curious if you felt that notions like encapsulation, polymorhism, aggregation, and inhertience have had their day.

Another web server might offer an incremental advance and one that is not at all unimportant.

What alternatives to object-oriented programming would you offer to the author of that web server?

Okay, you intended to say the forum was infertile, not the discipline. Understood. Semantics are boring.
