Careful! This is depending on the background and experiences of the
respective programmer(s). If you come, say, from Simula you'd most
likely have another (OOP) perspective than if you'd come from "C".

Programming C++ with only a "C" mindset I'd not consider advisable.
That's what I've generally observed; with sole knowledge of X there
seems to be an impetus and preference to infer those techniques to
programming in Y. A lot of early C++ programs I've seen were just,
umm, "enhanced" "C" programs.
