Actually, even Stroustrup himself doesn't try to pass C++ off as an Object
Oriented version of C (or anything else): He refers to it simply as a
"Multi-Paradigm Language". To which, I would have to whole heartedly agree (and,
like most past "Multi-Paradigm Languages", like PL/I, I would have to say it doesn't
do a great job at any of the paradigms [much as a Swiss army knife may be quite
useful when you have no other tools, it still doesn't tend to do as well as the more
specific tools it tries to contain]).
Just my 2 cents.
