>All I say is that you can apply a lot of what you learned in OOP to languages like FoxPro without writing much code. It depends on your definition of OOP whether you think that's OOP or not. The language is still procedural, but the techniques used there are similar to OOP, the design techniques you use for OOP apply here, etc.

Hi Christof,

I've browsed your example and will agree that it has an OOP 'feel' to it. But I think you will admit that it is a simple example - lacking, for instance, in events (and properties too, I dare say).

So I will concur that an 'OOP-like' programming is possible with a language such as FP, but would qualify that it is so primarily in appearance but hardly in actual operation. For instance, I probably, given the time and tools, make an automobilr which would look much like a Mercedes, but it in fact would not have the engineering and quailty and capabilities of the original.

Cheers,
