Riccardo is right.

Quoth Bob Harper in his latest blog post:

  Worse, object-oriented programming, a species of imperative programming,
  is fundamentally antimodular because of the absurd emphasis on
  inheritance and the reliance on class-based organizations in which
  functionality metastasizes throughout a program.

Cheers,
Asumu
