I love this usage of classes for a specific technical task.
I am getting impression that still a lot of people think, when they see class keyword, that now starts big Domain Driven Design and stuff. And as a result of overambitious plans so many classes I see in Lotus Notes projects are a bit bloated.
OO features of Lotus Script can be used at much more mudane and pragmatic level. They can be happily mixed with good ole' scripts, etc.
This definitedly looks like an implementation of usefull LotusScript OO not to be missed.
OO can often be much more usefull when simply viewed as a language feature and not as an "architectural style". In the end the OO design is allways heavily dependant on the implementing language anyway (LotusScript, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, etc.).
In the end an object of a self_created class is not much more than a set of functions packed together with some common global variables.
