I think there is a similar flaw in your argument as follows.

You: OO is flawed because of x

Me: But OO language a doesn't have a problem with x

You: Ah but language a has problems with y

Me: Yes but language b doesn't

etc...

You conclude OO is inherently flawed

I conclude that there are now languages without flaws...




Exactly. If you look for a language without flaws, you may as well give up programming.

On the other hand, if you say "I'm trying to do X - what's a good language to use?" then we can have a conversation. Some of the flaws are irrelevant in some projects, but roadblocks in others.

Debating the pros and cons of languages without the context of a project is like discussing the best form of transport without having any idea of the journey.
