Jeri Ellsworth is building C1 (formerly the CommodoreOne) with no formal background in electrical engineering. It currently has a small, customized 6502 processor running inside a FPGA and it provides VGA output via a framebuffer also implemented in a FPGA.
For my Master's Thesis (in ME) I created a FEM applet written in Java. OOP works well for this application since elements can be treated as objects. In theory, you can add new element types to your code by creating a new object with an appropriate interface.
OOP also helps with mathematical entities. Java lacked a suitable Matrix class for Force and Stiffness matrices. Luckily, OOP made it practically trivial to create new classes to not only hold the numbers, but to also encapsulate matrix algebra. Want to multiply a matrix by another? You can easily do something like this:
myForceMatrix=myStiffnessMatrix.multiply(myDispl ac ementMatrix);
In short, I found OOP concepts very helpful for my Java finite element applet.
Remember when the Russians were the bad guys because they lived in a tolitarian society where the government could arrest you at any time if you did or said something they didn't like.
Hmmm. It seems that we have become what we feared the most about them.

The Japanese version does not insult the viewers intelligence. The American version does.
