Actually, though it's possible I'm misunderstanding or something, this appears to make sense to me.
Basically, using the example of custom matrices, OP points out that OP can make new types without having to resort to OOP to do it. In other words, OOP is not necessary even if you want to be able to define new types - so that's one OOP-only use case that can be crossed off the list. Or something like that, anyways.
Yeah...except that's not what he said, even if it's what he meant.
Agreed. I took it more liberally than literally (e.g. "Conclusion: this is not a case where OOP is particularly useful.") but OP's follow-on posts suggests I was wrong to do so.
His statement about OOP was just a non sequitur. At best, a statement of personal preference.

Agreed.
