Normally what we have said is that Ada 95 is the only internationally
standardized object oriented language (what ever that means :-)
That has been true for a while, with no close competitors.
When the ISO C++ standard is finally approved (as noted previously, this
has not happened yet), then we will change our tune to "Ada was the
first internationally standardized OO language."
However, I fear me all these facts won't do the original poster much
good, people who hate languages without knowing much about them (the
most typical case) are unlikely to be swayed by something so prosaic
as mere facts!
