I hate that schools basically teach students to over use classes for everything especially by using Java as a teaching language and then they get into the real world or grad school and we have to unteach them those terrible habits.

I'm so glad a lot of the newer languages (Rust, Go, Zig, C3, V) don't have classes in them at all.

Tbh if the average grad school student overused object oriented stuff they would produce vastly better code than the status quo.

I strongly disagree.

I've seen plenty of grad student code, abundance of OOP concepts was never an issue. Complete lack of any structure on the other hand....

You can't teach experience.

Bad abstraction is worse than no abstraction

If the code is going to poorly organized, I'd prefer it to just be one single gigantic standalone script than some wrong and misleading arrangement of objects or functions that adds more complexity than they solve
