I don't really care if it's objects as long as I can reason about the
system.  Hidden side effects make reasoning difficult if not impossible.  I
have a problem with facets in that interfaces not in the facet appear to me
to be hidden side effects.  Objects, at least pure objects, don't have side
effects, but any other such system would do as well for me.
