I think that many monks replied here pay too much attention to realization of concrete fake example and hmm, yeah, too categorical tell about "more than one argument".
As far as I understand, all of this is not very important.

The only important thing is idea. Why not meditate on idea, not on realization?

And idea, as I understand it, is making program based on data structures used in this program instead of actions required from this program. Yes, I agree, this is much more like OOP. And in fact we have three (and may be more) different designes of how to write program:

  1. logic oriented
  2. data oriented
  3. object oriented
And I sure, all of them is more usable than other in some tasks.

So, the question to mstone: describe please reallife task where your style give advantages.

P.S. I have a plan to make post in Meditations how style like this one used by me can help in writing CGIs.
