Drupal Core - Object-Oriented?

Irakli Nadareishvili 22 June 2010
Type:  Not planned session

Drupal has been frequently criticized for its "non-OO architecture". While Drupal's architecture is very powerful, elegantly unique and uses many object-oriented design principles on a higher level, it is true that modules are not objects and most of the code is a collection of linear functions. Historically heavy object-oriented design has been avoided for the sake of compatibility with PHP 4.x Now that Drupal only supports PHP 5 it's probably worth to think about more OO implementation.

What would Drupal look like if we yielded to the pressure and created purely object-oriented Drupal Core?
