Well, I didn't mean to offend anyone. You are very entreprising, much
more than me, at any rate. But I did mean to stress that there is a
right tool for very every job and I've experienced before the feeling
that too much OOP "cripples the mind". One's function ends up
overfitting the data.

Of course my personal opinions regarding OOP don't belong in this
list. If, with my remark, you felt I was looking for a fight ("puxar
jogo", in my native Portuguese), I appologize.
