to not be used. Or rather, "used very very rarely".
My first OO lingo was Objective C, but after training someone who knew
C++, I realized that much of C++ object oriented flavor is really lacking.
It is hard to explain, but the smalltalk messaging seems to encourage
object oriented thinking while the C++ function calling still leaves people
thinking in Structured programming.
As far as messaging being slower, it is very easy to get around it and
call all the messages directly. This is discouraged except where time will
be sped up incredibly. (iterations of a thousand). This allows the function
to be used as a normal function while still having an Object Oriented flavor.
