I guess I can go back to objects and use pointers to objects when I want
classes? I don’t know if objects even have all the same functionality of
classes, and aren’t they for backwards compatibility anyways? That doesn’t
sound like the right direction to be going honestly.
It’s funny but I think the old object model was more flexible because you could
make pointers to objects (if I remember correctly) but you can’t go backwards
from classes to stack allocation. Deliberate or an unfortunate oversight?

Can you elaborate please? Not sure how that looks.
