Honestly? C#. Before that I was primarily dealing with C++ and it's not OOP**.
I wrote a bit of UI glue sometimes in VB5 and VB6 as well, but I don't consider those very OOP, especially the way I typically used them.
**You can do OOP like stuff with it because of its flexibility but it wasn't designed for OOP. It was designed for GP.

I assume you mean my projects or my comment? Either way, thank you. I aim to please, and it's always good to know when I hit the mark.

VB was classified as "component based" versus object-based. No "class" concept per se.

They added classes later, but it was a bag on the side. Not as bad as PHPs "classes" but in the running.

Circa 1991, though since 1981 I'd worked on a code base that sometimes implemented encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism manually, in a non-OO language. Getting a proper OO language that took care of all this was a godsend.

In my first formal Pascal training, the professor taught a discipline of collecting related attributes into RECORDs types, describing some object (I don't remember if he used that term). All handling of a given RECORD type should be done by a set of functions taking a pointer to an instance of the RECORD type as its first parameter. All the functions on a RECORD type should be declared together, and should not process other RECORD types.
So when OO appeared a few years later, we said "OK, we can switch around MyFunc(myInstance, ...) to myInstance.MyFunc(...). We can move the functions in before the END of the RECORD type definition. We can call it a 'class' rather than a RECORD, now that the functions appear before the END. Fine with us!"
Certainly: Pascal 'variant record fields' were just a tiny start of today's complex super- and sub-classes with virtual functions and multiple inheritance and whatnots. Yet, as complex OO-concepts matured (they came gradually!) we saw them as stepwise extensions to the variant record concept. OO languages provide some syntactic sugar, but if the concepts are in place and you have a good programming discipline, it doesn't make that big a difference!
In hindsight, I have often been thinking that this professor must have had an impressing understanding of OO long before it became a household term. (I took this Pascal course in 1977.)
