i mean procedural as in procedures rather than objects to divvy up code.

If there's a better word for that I'm unaware of it. You could say that all imperative languages are procedural if they have functions/methods but that's almost too general to be useful.

Now I wonder what you'd consider procedural.

I wish it was more available in places other than C++.
