I see; yet Microsoft seems to have moved its software towards
objects. If .NET is a sign of objects and if .NET, Java and
iOS shape future programmers, maybe IT can travel forwards.

There is a gap between modeling tools' presentation of the
world (using objects' interfaces) and the way they appear in extern
"C" style programs (implicit, mostly).  This is contradictory,
I think, but then contradictions impose no strain on a programmer's
mind when he can switch world views by switching tools.
Odd it is, though.
