Some of the most popular OO languages (C++, Java and C#) are 3GL
languages.


Some of the best OO code I've ever seen was written in Macro-32
decades before the term was coined.


You can write OO code in just about any language. OO is not about languages, it's a way to look at/analyze the problem to be solved. Some languages encourage/require OO analysis and design.

The idea behind OO is that you represent an "object" as a package consisting of a data structure and all the allowed operations, called methods, on that data structure. If the language in use requires OO,
you can't easily do stupid things like trying to add two windows or multiply a window by a file!

It's a tool, not a panacea!
