What was originally conceived as message passing[1] is actually implemented by OO languages as passing around pointers to objects that have mutable state, so in effect, every object is potentially part of global shared state.
Inheritance is a confused mess of "is-a" semantics, type system behavior, and code/state sharing in a set of subclasses.
I'm often somewhat amazed that we can build working large-scale systems at all in these languages given their weaknesses and the knowledge/skill level of the average programmer.
One source for what OOP was meant to be is https://wiki.c2.com/?AlanKaysDefinitionOfObjectOriented. That article links to others, and you can follow quite a rabbit trail of "what OOP is" threads.
Inheritance by its nature introduces dependencies but accomplishes little to nothing that couldn't be accomplished better with a different technique.
Likewise putting any sort of transformation from one type to another inside a class introduces a dependency on that type, which may be doing the same thing, thus depending on other types, etc.
On the other hand message passing in the form of pointers, interprocess communication, copying within a program, etc. Can be done in C++. Unfortunately most people go where the language leads them because few people really have a great idea of how to structure complex software.
I saw a Pharo (smalltalk) demo recently, the damn thing was so slow to react I thought it was a bad joke. Can't even begin to imagine what actual message passing would look like - oh wait, I do actually know due to spending 6 hours last weekend finding why a software had uncomfortable mouse interaction, actually caused by fucking objc_msgSend making everything async and slow on that wretched Apple OS.
OOP languages also happen to be some of the most popular languages around - C#, Java, C++, Javascript. Coincidence? (in before nitpicking about how C++ and Javascript aren't OOP).
Take full advantage of today’s multicore processors with Unity’s new high-performance, multithreaded Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS).
DOTS makes great games run faster on multicore processors without the heavy programming headache.
DOTS provides programmers with a convenient sandbox to write safe multithreaded code for massive performance gains, while also optimizing thermal control and battery life on players’ mobile devices. By moving from object-oriented to data-oriented design, it will also be easier for you to reuse your code and for others to understand and work on it.
The new Conversion Workflow converts your GameObjects to entities with one click. At runtime, check the new Entity Preview Inspector to see how DOTS turns your GameObjects into entities
