Paul Graham has this to say about OO in his book On Lisp:

One of the big selling points of object-oriented programming is that it makes
programs extensible. This prospect excites less wonder in the Lisp world, where extensibility has always been taken for granted. If the kind of extensibility we need does not depend too much on inheritance, then plain Lisp may already be sufficient.

Hmm. Interesting.

This validates what I always felt, and keep telling to anyone who would listen: PostgreSQL is a much, much better database than MySQL. Not just performance-wise. Rails has done a lot of disservice to PostgreSQL by making MySQL the “recommended” database. I say, take back the database!
