OO can have many meaning. I took OO to mean object, the basic entity of the
programming model and the operation of the object. The concept, as foundmental,
has to be solid, practical and easily usable. Otherwise, more codes and efforts
will be needed latter to fix it, making the original goal ,practically, a lie.
IOW, (nearly) a flawless model is all the basics. ...

  From my view, programming language has to provide a model, so that programmers
know what they are dealing with, to solve the problem (recent C++ seems solving
just syntax problems).
In (my) OOP, 'portability' (or reusable) is first achieved by making the
probramming object compatible (form platform to platfrom or from time to time
in the same platform, but libwy only considers linux, but the idea should be
generally applicable), i.e. like pod types, structures, union may not be portable.
 Programming object or 'concept' are 'better' represented/wrapped by class (keyword)
All should be simple, I don't know how to make the idea of 'object' more simpler.
See the guidelines.
 OTOH, in C/C++, every memory objects/function has address, the language cannot
pretend it is not actually dealing with a large array of raw 'bytes' and its
restrictions (and restrict by Turing Machine). I think that is generally where
many programming problems from. And, understanding C or assembly is nearly a must
before understanding C++, otherwise, no real meaning, simply put.
