I've long had a preference for Modula-2 over C, which has meant that on
one hand the transition to OO is softened, but on the other hand, my OO
code tends to emphasize encapsulation over inheritance and polymorphism
(I'm used to doing encapsulation, but not so used to inheritance and
polymorphism).
