Because classes are the poor man's closures?
You should use thing for what they're made for. Even using classes you can't solve the problem you're describing.
Because you at least don't have to write classes for everything? :)
There isn't really a need for classes...
Isn't that just reinventing classes?
well, having classes helps not to ask oneself how to write classes.
Why write C-with-classes if you can just write C-with-structures-and-function-pointers instead?
You can use classes without doing OOP and you can do OOP without using classes
How's that any different to a 'classical OOP' approach?
Implying to impressionable minds that a function can't exist without a class.
