Depends what you're doing. Object-oriented languages never really caught on
for systems programming. (Although many of the good practices and techniques
from OOP are borrowed.)
Yes, if you do anything complicated in C, you end up with your
basic data type being 'array of struct ...', a data object of
sorts, perhaps with some function pointers in there too. However,
it is just a very different way of thinking when the only way
you can access data is through a method provided by someone else's
object instead of your own function.
