I doubt if there are a lot that can simultaneously think in procedural and object concepts, though. Someone who learns that code and data are different things and that data is not to be trusted will have a hard time dealing with objects where the only way to access data is to execute code associated with it.
I don't know about that. I started on Apple Integer BASIC back in 1980, dropped to assembly on multiple platforms, and eventually ended up doing OO style design in Perl in the 90s *before* it officially had OO. I remember my sister commenting something to the effect that I seemed to design code mentally in OO styles regardless of the actual implementation language a decade or so ago.
