Actually its programming, and its maths. You can write any program with
any feature in any turing complete language. This means you can write object
oriented message passing vi macros.

C++ is just a syntax wrapper over C with some bad exeception handling
included. It doesn't even do a good job on object orientation compared to
stuff like smalltalk. People do object oriented programming in cobol. Its
a programmer feature not a language feature.

You also need to provide an interrupt safe, thread safe and smp safe lockless
exception handling mechanism for the C++ exceptions. You can't really avoid
that as you will want to do memory allocation and a memory allocation can
and must fail gracefully.
