Does object orient code allow one to build more complex applications?

Did C++, C# and java tranform programming allowing developers to write code faster, include more complexity, solid user interfaces, and flexible integration with the database?

Did it ever!

OOP allows for complex code to be modularized. As a result, complex tasks and relations can be assembled easily.
Asker's Rating:
• Will machines start writing object oriented code within the next ten years?

Object-oriented programming languages allow for a different way to program, not a better way.

I don't see how it can help developers write code faster... You have to really think about how your objects are designed/coded and that might take longer to think about that to code in non-object oriented languages.

So... my vote is... no. It's just a different way to code. Better logically, but it probably washes out in the end.

I feel ya.

On the surface, unique objects, variables, etc can seem counter intuitive.

However, when working on a medium or large project, object oriented code is key to programs that are maintainable and created rapidly.

For example, an employee can write 2 complete sections and document how others can interact with those sections. The other employees don't need to spend their time learning the code that has already been written... only how to interact with it.

@robbrown: Not to argue with you, but you can build libraries and subroutines that do the same thing as objects. As with OOP, all you have to know is the input and the output variables...

I still think there is little difference in languages. It's like the old argument: Which is better Mac or PC? (Mac, of course) It's just a TOOL... You can do the same with either if you know enough...
