Hi,

You might find what my COBOL teacher said about OOP interesting:

Begin quote:

Well, as far as COBOL's concerned object oriented programming
is like communism ------ it's only good on paper.   It had such an
attractive concepts and ideals, these ideals were very alluring
and seductive (if not stimulating) when described on paper.

However, the complexity and the dynamic aspects of human nature,
real-world business applications, and the test of mainstream
business rules and taxonomy, that deflated object oriented
programming and proved it is not a practical paradigm.

Object oriented is simply an oversold and overhyped programming
concept, without any clear benefits that can be fathomed in the
IT world of business applications.   Nonetheless, object oriented
design is mainly solutions to problems that COBOL does not have.
