Object-oriented programming aficionados think that everything is an object.... this [isn't] so. There are things that are objects. Things that have state and change their state are objects. And then there are things that are not objects. A binary search is not an object. It is an algorithm

I think that object orientedness is almost as much of a hoax as artificial intelligence.

I find OOP technically unsound.
