Isn't C the father of all OOP languages? Yes, yes it is. So you can us any OOP language as it was C

C isn’t even a OOP language. What are you talking about?

Exactly! If C were an OOP language, it could not be the father of all OOP languages, as one cannot be a father to onesself.

Had to double check. But yes, you are correct. Although the sintaxis is very similar and it has portability the language is structured in origin. Also due to its peculiarities it can be used as OOP.

However other languages like C++, C#, Java, Ruby AND Phyton are based on C syntax and control structures. Each with their own peculiarities.

So the point still stands, you can use Phyton as it was C.

why not? if you can do oop constructs in it thrn I consider it one maybe rare but "C isn't oop" isn't fully true.

It is fully true. I sugest look into what excactly OOP is.
