Object oriented Programming (OOP) entered the world of programming in the 1980s, but it actually became very popular from 1990s till date. What changes has it actually introduced into the programming world when placed in a balance with other programming techniques? This paper answers this question by taking a detailed and analytical look into the history and evolution of programming Languages. The paper unraveled the comparative advantages of OOP over a few earlier programming techniques. We collected data from both primary and secondary sources, analyzed the data and found out that stakeholders in software development industry have felt the tremendous impact of OOP on modern software development process. We have also noted that despite all the good and desirable features offered by Object Oriented programming, it is obvious that stakeholders in software development still expect easier and more flexible features than those the Object Oriented Programming currently presents.
