Paradigm changes usually require a new language to describe it, i.e. program effectively in it. C has gone through at least two. The first was successful only because of the original simplicity of the language. The second was "successful" only because of the established infrastructure, i.e. too many programmers didn't want to completely change.
So you're right.
I haven't looked at the standard as I've not been actively coding in a few years. It took me a long, long time to get out the structured to object oriented mind set. I'm still not that good at it when code pieces inherit more than once.
I'd like to see an IDE that would automatically expand the object when you need it, i.e. show you all an object's properties and methods, & expand methods when you click on them or something. BUt this is too much to hope for.
Bitch, bitch, bitch; that's all I ever do ...
