That's why I don't like the term OO, because it's used to mean
"class-oriented", and class-orientation is a vacant theory. Then you get
into the "purity" nonsense. If "purely OO" means "purely class-oriented",
how is that demonstratively good, or even significant? It's about as
pointless as, let's say, defining "pure pizza" to mean not having tomato
sauce, and then calling everything else a "hybrid".
"Abstraction oriented" is, I think, both meaningful and useful; and as has
been pointed out, is bigger than just the idea of inheritance.
