A history lesson, before OOP, there was Yourdon Structured Method, and plenty of C enterprise architects jumped into it.
The GoF book used Smalltalk and C++, predating Java by a couple of years.
The Booch Method used C++, and predates Java for a decade.
Ah and there was that whole operating system written in an OOP C dialect, including its drivers, NeXTSTEP, which also survives to this day, with more consumer deployments than the Year of Desktop Linux.
