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.
 
 

If you care about this sort of things it's a sure sign that you have
too much time and too little real (or non-real, but interesting) work to
do.
