One of the driving forces in the creation of object-oriented languages was the inability of procedurally structured code to be extended easily without extensive revisions, retesting, and reevaluations.

Object-oriented languages were indeed developed to address the limitations of procedural programming languages, including difficulties in extending and maintaining code. Object-oriented programming (OOP) introduces concepts such as inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism, which allow for more modular, reusable, and adaptable code, making extensions and revisions more manageable.
