Nevertheless, I consider OOP as an aspect of programming in the large; that is, as an aspect that logically follows programming in the small and requires sound knowledge of procedural programming.

Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster. (Or, sometimes known by] Grove [the head of Intel] giveth and Gates [the head of Microsoft] taketh away.)

Good engineering is characterized by gradual, stepwise refinement of products that yields increased performance under given constraints and with given resources.

Usually its users discover sooner or later that their program does not deliver all the desired results, or worse, that the results requested were not the ones really needed.

During the process of stepwise refinement, a notation which is natural to the problem in hand should be used as long as possible.

I have never designed a language for its own sake.

My duty as a teacher is to train, educate future programmers.
