What is the point of programming with a pure object-oriented language like Smalltalk or Ruby when there are hybrid languages like C++ and Java? In pure OO, EVERYTHING is an object whether it benefits the program or not. A hybrid language, however, lets you pick and choose what shall be an object. That way you can just have items in a game or windows in some GUI be objects and leave IF statements and such the way they originally were.

OO allows organization. Programming ultimately boils down to lineear proceses. pure oo allows those processes to become more complex and abstract, placing the compiler in more active a role than the developer,then freeing the programmer to concieve of new structures.

Pure oo is logical and design oriented. Process oriented work should be done within the methods of a class--as it is process work.

I see a couple of key words there.. "linear" (shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line") "pure" (less trash.. more efficient) and "free" (acually you said "freeing" the programmer but still) I don't know why but I can sense you're on to something awsome even though I don't understand it entirely. also let me share a link while i'm here.

also here's an exerpt
"Another advantage of Cell is to support multiple operating systems, such as conventional operating systems (including Linux), real-time operating systems for computer entertainment and consumer electronics applications as well as guest operating systems for specific applications, simultaneously." later!

sorry about the long link.. how do you make it small and "clickable?"

TinyUrl does an excellent job. In this case, it produces

as a clickable link (never mind the fact that the TinuURL link doesn't get you anywhere, but that's because the long one doesn't appear to exist anymore)
