"Unorthodox" meaning wrong, of course.
Language purity is a farce. C++ was never promoted as an "object-oriented language". It has always been a language that provides support for an object-oriented style as one among many, and supports promiscuous mixing of styles for anyone not stupidly wedged into just one.
Most of its type operations are inspired by ML, as in Haskell. Algebraic types are just types. There is no paradigm. Paradigms are a farce too.
