OK, since I'm too lazy to look it up, what _is_ the opposite of OOP?
Functional? Please don't say something like non-OOP... ;) But you can tell
me to RTFM if you can find me a good M. Or does OOP not have an opposite
except declarative, being actually a special kind of procedural? Maybe I'll
learn at school: I started my OOP class today--slooow start. We're doing
Smalltalk along with the C++ tho, so that's good.
