Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).
