That's what I meant - MI is useful for mixins  I'd never heard of Eiffel before. That's an interesting approach to inheritance. Not really sure what you mean about encapsulation in Perl. If you want enforced encapsulation for Perl classes you can use the lexical closure technique. For inheritance you only need to know the class hierarchy if you're changing the method resolution order at run-time. I'm at best intermediate with Perl though - I just dabble in it from time to time for fun. So if I missed something let me know

It still is, but OOP isn't required for every task you may have.
Use the right tool...
I still prefer plain-old C with C++ and OOP only as required. I do not like that C# requires that everything be in OOP -- that's just silly.

It doesn't. I have seen plenty of C# projects that are written as a collection of static classes. In this case, the class name just serves as a namespace. And with C# 6 you can do using Namespace.ClassName; to pull that static members of static 'ClassName' into the current translation unit.
So, yes, you can do 'C' style structured programming in C# and use OOP only as required. Not that it's necessarily recommended. But, hey, whatever.

TheGreatAndPowerfulOzyes, you can do 'C' style structured programming in C#
No, you can't -- everything has to be in a class (or struct maybe). Beginners should be freed of that.

Uh, yes you can. And I already mentioned that -- like I said, the static class can be treated as a namespace. It's not that much of a mental leap for a beginner.

A class is a class. Having to needlessly embed code in any kind of wrapper for no good reason hinders understanding.

I disagree. Why wrap any code in function names at all? Why not put all code in one function then? Or no function at all. That's what BASIC started out as. And we know that spaghetti ensued.
Code segregation, i.e. "cohesion", enhances understanding. Namespaces and static classes and non-static classes enhance understanding.

But a developer should need to do that only as needed.

Sure, just put all the code in Program.cs and Program.Main() then.

Obviously the headline is for clicks, but in reality he's only describing how inheritance and decorators can work well together. there also seems to be the fascination to include as many design patters in one article as he can fit in.

That's obviously fake - it can't be anywhere near as low as 50%!

Most Americans do not see "information overload" as a problem for them despite the explosion of internet data and images, according to a Pew Research Center survey on Wednesday. "Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn."
Yeah, misattributed to Alvin Toffler, but I just thought it was a good quote.

Oh man I forgot about that game. I loved playing Star Raiders on the Atari 800. I remember playing that at a computer store way back in 1981, 82-ish(?). The father of a friend of mine back then was part of a engineering group that met up in the conference room of a store after hours. We would sit out front during the meeting and play Star Raider all night. Awesome times!
