I can imagine some limited places where this would be so, or some
constraints that would make this so, but it is hard to imagine on a project
with any depth.  I did procedural and 4GL for 15 years, and Smalltalk for 5.
I helped write a major system in Smalltalk at the same time our competitor
wrote something from nearly identical specs.  Ours cost 1/3 of theirs,
supplied more features, and is far more flexible.  Perhaps you can provide
specifics to enlighten us as to what you have found procedural to do better.
