That's all possible with asm, too:
  - OOP is a design concept which can be easily implemented in asm by
    applying a well thought structure to data entities.
  - Generic programming is directly supported by macros. OTOH commiting
    data strutures to a consistent level of indirection, generic algorithms
    instantiated only once are no problem.
  - Editors supporting Folding and assembler supporting multiple source files
    allow very large programms.

All done on my C64.
