Please don't make it a popularity discussion because it will turn 
this forum post into a mess of random words.

I think a good way of thinking about this is that some languages 
just do things in a specific way. Nothing wrong with that. You 
can't take Rust and use it like C# and you can't take D and use 
it like C++. All of these languages have OOP ideas, but they 
implement them in different ways.
