The Problem With Object-Oriented Languages

I didn’t know this quote by Joe Armstrong, the creator of Erlang:

The problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.

Thanks to Charles Scalfani to write about it on Medium. You might want to read his article “Goodbye, Object Oriented Programming”.
