OOP Is Not Great

After 5 years of programming I have come to the conclusion that usually OOP is not great. This may sound shocking considering that 2 out of 5 posts on this blog are me raving about C# and Java but I have been reformed.

Background

For around a year I was infatuated with C# and Java. Initially I got introduced to Java through making discord bots with JDA. It was great. Up until that point I was used to making bots with Python or C. Java was and still is pretty nice for bot development and I really enjoyed my time with it. Then later on I discovered C# and enjoyed it even more. The syntax was great, it was fast, had a whole bunch of IDE support, and had a whole bunch of stuff going for it. I especially liked it when interfacing with MongoDB with their library. My only real gripe with it was the .NET ecosystem. Being an enjoyer of linux the Windows-centric parts of C# really bothered me and I eventually just sulked back to Java.
