one issue with OOP in practice that I've seen is the entanglement of the domain representation (member variables of a class) and the varied operations on that data (methods). Classic OOP encourages you to manipulate objects by methods rather than free functions, which combines potentially unrelated functionality in the same object.my rule of thumb with objects is to keep the methods to a minimum, to the extent all classes are either interfaces, implementations of interfaces or pure data classes. obviously this approach will be natural to ML programmers.
