With this in mind I've created a programming exercise where I imagine an OO programmer would use an object hierarchy with subtype polymorphism as part of the solution.
Being unfamiliar with git, I've submitted an AWK answer by e-mail. I've used quite a few OO languages. I like to think that I *am* an OO programmer. But this exercise struck me from the beginning as something where classes would add nothing but bulk. As a fan of Smalltalk, I have to say that the Smalltalk version confirmed this for me; a Smalltalk solution for this exercise could be a lot smaller than that one if it _didn't_ introduce new classes.
