I wonder if #OOP played a part in programs becoming way less composable.
When you treat data as nothing more than data, transformations are always implemented on a known representation, but when you try to abstract things away more and more, you get a jumble of objects and references and possibly no clear way to serialize them into a format other programs and languages could understand.

@grainloom this is a big part of why I'm moving away from OOP - it's harder to compose your program out of small pieces, even if it feels like it's easier
