So you know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_acquisition_is_initia... Good for you.

"Object Oriented Programming puts the Nouns first and foremost. Why would you go to such lengths to put one part of speech on a pedestal? Why should one kind of concept take precedence over another? It's not as if OOP has suddenly made verbs less important in the way we actually think. It's a strangely skewed perspective." from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming criticisms says a lot.

That's quite irrelevant to the conversation though, we weren't talking about whether OOP is good or not. C++ is very far from "C with classes" today.

Ok but still OOP is the central idea and also there is this trend the most annoying one to always try modeling everything as classes and objects.

plenty of c++ is just functions wrapped in namespaces. namespaces alone are a significant advantage over c.
