Yes, I remember there was a OO programming style/discipline layered on C that was floating around in the mid 80's and I tried it out. (just found out there's a whole book about it - https://book.huihoo.com/pdf/object-oriented-programming-with-ansi-c/ooc.pdf https://book.huihoo.com/pdf/object-oriented-programming-with...) Shortly thereafter, C++ arrived in the form of "cfront" which was a cross-language translator that would generate .c and .h files from .cxx and you'd compile those with a C compiler. There was no actual C++ compiler at first.
