OOP in C++ is so broken that I have given up on OO in C++ altogether. I
just write C++ code as "C with classes". I have come to hold the opinion
that real OO cannot be done properly in C++ (not without lots and lots
of pain, hacks, workarounds, and bandages, anyway).  OO in Java is much
saner.

But I'm glad to say that OO in D is turning out to be much better so
far.  It's what C++ should have been but failed to be.
