THIS IS NOT A TROLL
I understand that there is zero love for object-oriented programming
methodologies on this list, and I am not particularly interested in this
strategy myself, although some languages that I like (i.e. Python) make
it hard to avoid in many ways. Regardless, this question is not meant
to poll suckless devs on their feelings surrounding baroque,
masturbatory abstraction; I know the answer to that question.
I am attempting to learn C, and in my interweb travels I have
encountered Object Oriented C. One particular theme surrounding this
approach, which I found quite interesting, was the idea of creating safe
and robust interfaces through (relatively?) simple means; namely,
modeling the public/private metaphor in OOP by placing
differently-privileged code in separate files, and managing access
through header files. A link that describes this technique:

I know just enough about programming to be intrigued by the idea, but
not nearly enough to understand its implications in practice. My
questions are:
1. Is this practice (potentially) suckless?
2. If so, under what conditions would this be a suckless strategy?
My apologies if this has been covered previously; googling the list did
not suggest that this is the case, although my attempts to learn C have
revealed that my google-fu has a giant blind spot when it comes to
producing useful results for single-character keywords.
