What exactly is an "object-oriented version" of a language? Why is PL/I
not object-oriented? IMHO, one can do object-oriented programming even in
assembly language, given enough skill and dedication. Too many people are
confusing object-oriented programming as a method with the usage of
C++/Ada-specific features.
