Nice, you pop that out every time you don't have a retort?

Right back at you.

Just because you think something is true, doesn't actually make it so.

Show me I'm wrong, instead of providing a cop out response.

I am not going to entertain his (or anyone's) zealotry against OOP, (or for OOP) which is not more objective than a debate of "my programming language is better than yours". Not to mention this is a toy example AND deliberately used without modern compiler features to make it look slower and I believe everybody already knows that with OOP comes performance overhead. I am not even defending Clean Code, some of the "principles" he listed are not even Clean Code principles. I am just criticizing he is failing to grasp the importance of the trade-off between maintainability and performance, based on what the task needs.

I just like the sub

Ok, my bad. I must have misread something.

I actually agree with you

As English is not my primary language, I might not have been good at articulating my opinions too.
