I've actually written a lot of OO code in C. Depending on how you write it, it can be horrific or reasonably pleasant. When I first wrote my data structures library I implemented it in a somewhat generic way with loads of function pointers and size fields and type ID's in nearly everything. It was really easy to work with, but it kind of looked fugly. At some point I implemented some standard types to use as templates, and it was huge. Not that it ran particularly slow or anything, or produced bloated binaries, but it was a lot to maintain. For the second version I just said "fuck it" and implemented raw data copies and had the user provide a void pointer and a size. Let them figure it out.
