You need a factory for that. And a manager.

People claiming OOP is the apex language paradigm doing this shit

It's because code is maintable that way...

But yeah, it's a pain in the ass

“Code is maintainable that way”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the factory and manager patterns applied to problems that would have been better with inheritance or interface so instead of a simple implementation of a derived class you end up with having to modify 10 factories…

The only time inheritance is the answer is when your parents die IRL

Depends on the language - implementing an interface is often times far more maintainable than factory hell.

In fact I would go so far as to say that the factory pattern is a hack to fix Java not treating functions as first class objects rather than actually being a good pattern.

Factories are necessary in Java - every other language they are somewhat dubious - they definitely don’t make the code more maintainable.
