[erlang-questions] OOP in Erlang

[Guy Wiener]

I have to stand up for OOP at this point: OOP does not start and end with
"encapsulating code and data". The OOP feature that has the strongest impact
on code brevity is *inheritance*. Thus, the interest in extending modules.

Also, IMHO, parameterized modules are a more compact way to encapsulate code
and data, since that you don't have to pass the data structure around as an
explicit state (assuming, of course, that the data is immutable).
