Hi, Mathematica is a functional logic language and it should be programmed in functional style. Since the functional concept is much more powerful than the "object oriented" style, you you should use the functional style. Since Mathematica is optimized to handle functional logic definitions very efficient you should use functional logic definitions. Roman Maeders book "The Mathematica Programmer II" has some packages for object oriented programming, manly to show how laborious and useless this concept is.
