"Neither is object-oriented"

And thus the discussion devolves into a pissing contest over whose programming language is the most object oriented...

Look, one can reasonable agree to disagree on the definition of 'object-oriented', but I don't see how you can seriously state that C++ is not object-oriented. According to the most broadly accepted superset of what constitutes 'object-oriented', C++ is object-oriented (or rather, can be used in such a way).

You're right, I meant that it's not strictly object-oriented, it supports multiple paradigms, with OOP being one of them. :)

Yes, that I agree with.
