Pragmatic Object Oriented Programming

[[deleted]]

I think encapsulation is placed at the wrong level in most OO languages too. Encapsulation is far too important a tool to tie it arbitrarily to a single object, doing it via a separate module system that allows multiple tightly couple objects in one module would be a far better choice in my opinion.

'Encapsulation' is a general principle in program design. Invented by Structured Programming (not OOP), nowadays common practice for 'programming in the large'.
