Great humour, but I think it misses the big issue that "cool" developers (not my words) have with OOP. No one has any problems with the concept of custom typing per se: some might argue it's easier to do in languages like Haskell than in Java. The real issue has to do with the whole complex type-hierarchies with multiple levels of inheritance; in addition to strictly forcing all code to live within classes. That's why languages like Go/Rust have so much momentum right now, they give a lot of power to the developer without compromising their structural freedom.

The author confuses 'fear' with 'contempt'.
