I don't see how hardware can be anything other than "object oriented" conceptually, thats where OOPS comes from, though I have a hard time believing in Polymorphism is hardware ! Of all the OOPS concepts Polymorph is the worst bit, since there almost axiomatically be a whole pile of unused garbage in most of yuor software objects.

Decent modularisation in your software design, and careful conideration of your interfaces to your modules accomplishes a lot towards OOP concepts, even outside the OOP languages like Delphi, C++ and Eiffel.

In small scale embedded projects like 8052, is there really any scope for full blown OOP languages, or are you trying to shoehorn the solution you like into the problem, rather than the right solution ?
