Refactoring for reuse is a kind of early optimization? Agreed! Generally
for me it waits until the second or third rewrite, as by then I have a bit
of an idea about where I am headed with the code.

OTOH, I finally realized that when I don't know where I am going with
something, keeping the logic in functions instead of methods is probably
safest. I'm thinking now that methods should mostly just be used for their
polymorphism as just a very thin layer over a set of interfaces.

I was so impressed with the advantages of Java over C++ when I started
using it 20 years ago. But now that I've been exposed to Clojure, I'm
inclined to minimize my use of OO and use objects mostly as what I used
before OO: dispatch tables!
