The C++ family of languages isn't really all that object-oriented; it's practically a different (static, class-oriented) paradigm that takes some inspiration from OOP (mostly from Smalltalk) but more from C's particular implementation of statically-typed procedural programming, as a result they are based around structs-enhanced-with-methods rather than proper objects.
