This brings to mind Alan Kay's quip that "I made up the term 'object-oriented', and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind."

- pmr_ 14y agoI was thinking the same after re-reading my post. I always thought it was a negative statement but it simply confirms what Stroustrup has always been saying about C++: "It's a multiparadigm programming language." Surely the support for one or the other paradigm could be better but this just reflects that things are shifting away a little from pure object-orientedness across languages.
