Yes - it is inevitable that all will be assimilated!

Mark - A suggestion for those who are interested, but are hesitating
to go down the object path:

Pick a project that you are in the process of implementing, or even
better, something that you wrote a while back and have to update.
Make sure that it is relevant - not just a toy code, but something
that you will actually use - some library of non-trivial calculations
for example. If you are passing around lots of variables and/or large
structures and finding adding new variables to be a real pain, that
would be perfect.

Do some reading and studying up on objects (not about IDL objects, but
object orientation in general - objects are not about implementation
details and syntax, but about design). I got a lot out of reading
"Object Oriented Software Construction" by Meyer, but I'm sure there
are other things available as well. I think it is key to learn the
background without getting locked into some particular language's
implementation and syntax.

Then learn the IDL details and syntax for objects and rewrite or
extend your code using them (or whatever language you are using -
originally I did this with python).

I'll bet you'll get hooked and learn enough to be fully ready for it.
