Why is OOP Popular?
A few possible reasons why OOP is popular:
- Hope that it will quickly and easily lead to increased productivity and increased reliability (solve the software crises)
- Hope for easy transition from existing languages
- Resonant similarity to techniques of thinking about problems in other domains
