    Why exactly is OO allegedly better for large projects? I find
    procedural with a good RDBMS can better divide up "projects" into lots
    of smaller projects because you work on mostly one task at a time and
    use the DB as the primary messenging conduit. Thus, you mostly only
    have to know the schema and a few project libraries and conventions. in
    OO it seems one is faced with a mass sea of a million classes with no
    easy way to know or navigate them. Reducing the message-passing to
    queries of schemas is far more work-load divisable IMO.

    OO seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy in that it MAKES small
    projects into big projects. Even Cobolers have figured out the
    task-in-code-noun-in-DB division of labor and I have seen it work in
    large city power utilities. (I'm not recommending Cobol here, BTW.)
