I never liked programming purists. I'll use OO when it suits me, not because everyone else is doing it. I don't need to expand my 50-line Perl script into 300 lines just to support OO. Shouldn't use ASM? Ha! I'll do it just to spite you (in my free time, of course--I've got things to do at work :). No, I'm not going to put a # end of foo subroutine or some such over-documentation after every end brace. Format your code correctly and you don't need to.

In short, the purists are blinded by "correctness" and let it get in the way of doing the job.
