Is there something beyond OOP? In today's world, almost any problem can be solved with OOP as the basis. But how many of them are really effective? For example, Java is purely Object Oriented. It generates the byte code and interprets it. Now, obviously the execution time is greater in Java when compared with C and C++. Problems are of various nature. Some are really computationally intensive, some others are GUI Programming, some want to reduce the response time. So, globally can OOP solve all these or is there a life beyond it?

OOP is an approach to design software, and not a tool to universally solve any kind of problem. It does solve some problems, but not all. Major advantages of OOP are modularity, extensibility and reusability. For example, diving complex system into modules is very good, as it explains the system and it's subsystems better (divide and conquer). But there are certain kind of problems, where OOP should not be used. Just to name few :
The execution time has nothing to do with OOP, as OO program can be slower then it's functional counterpart. Just to answer your last concern. I am not aware of anything beyond OOP. Currently it is a way to go if you want to have any complex application. |
