- You have to say what you think the OO paradigm actually *is*
- first :-)
-
- Some would claim that not having garbage collection
- was a major impediment, for example.
-
- Others might cite the lack of dynamic message handling.
-
- I for one prefer to say C++ is class oriented, not object
- oriented.
