I've reached a point where I think classes are a superfluous OO concept.
You only need objects.

Python is close to that reality. The "class" keyword really creates a
function that creates objects, and the objects' class membership is
ignored in ducktyping.

Classes may or may not save RAM, but that is rather a low-brow point of
view toward OO.
