Amen!

for slightly different reasons: to me OO programming is nice; but each project 
i've had where it was an advantage, sooner or later it has to do some ugly 
kludges because of the OO model, and it was always a different kind of 
kludge.

that's why i feel that a more basic functional model (like Lua's) is more 
generic, and if you want OO, after designing your classes, it's trivial to 
design a OO model to fit them, and not the other way around.

IOW: each OO implementation has it's pros and cons, it's better to build just 
the one you feel better for each specific project, and not impose an 
arbitrary one as "official"
