Sorry, but I've lived through these debates too many times. OOP has only

Strictly speaking, yes. In practical terms, people tend to restrict OOP to OOPLs, because if they want OOP they want to use a language that makes it easy. Like I said, GTK+ is one contrary example. CORBA (and SOM, if anyone remembers it) are others.

However, using any of them still feels about the same; still feels like OOP. From what I've read of Chris' library here, it doesn't.

BTW, you can do inheritance in C. You can do it in any language with
structures. Remember that the original C++ compiler emitted C.


Ditto with the original (and one still extant) Objective-C compiler.
