Really? Because it started as "C with classes" IIRC. That you can used different paradigms, from procedural a la C to template-based programming etc, doesn't mean that it's not OO, or that it's not used for OOP 99% of the time.


Yes, that's how it started. But C with classes (or even C++ before standardization) is a really different language from what is there now.

As I said in another child of my post: It is a multiparadigm language. Of course a lot of people are using it for OOP. I don't dare to say what is the prevalent style of C++ nowadays. I don't know and I don't think anybody really does given the widespread use and different domains.
