   I think you have a miss-conception, C++ has never been an OOPL, it   
   supports OOP along with several other paradigms, iy is this   
   multui-paradigm capacity that makes it such a versatile and powerful   
   language. It is also one of the reasons that broad mastery of C++ is so   
   hard.
