Re: [dev] Conversation with Anselm R. Garbe of suckless.org

In big and complex programs OO makes even less sense, and causes even
more harm, the difference is that in the mist of so much complexity it
is less obvious that OO is totally worthless, when in the case of a
really simple program, it becomes painful self evident that 90% of the
complexity comes from OO and there is no other scapegoat to blame.
