> However, I have worked with many C and C++ projects. In my experience, you CAN represent objects very cleanly in C-- the kernel is a good example.
I disagree, the typical implementation of objects with vtables etc. is ugly in C, and manual implementations of advanced concepts like multiple and virtual inheritance are hard to use and maintain.
C++ also has a lot more to offer than OOP (esp. templates).
