Isn't the STL mostly classes? How is that not OO?



STL has nothing to do with OOP . In Alex Stepanov (the ST in STL) words "object orientedness is almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence"


Well, yes you have some objects in there. But it is rather an implementation detail. You don't use inheritance for instance.
