A point which is made irrelevant if you want to make a comparison of
the learning curves, by taking two persons who have no prior
experience to programming, and teach procedural programming to one of
them, while teaching object-oriented programming to the second.
The steeper learning curve of C++ is indeed steeper, not because of
some magic property of the object-oriented programming paradigm, but
because there are a lot more things to learn, before a complete
program can be written, IMHO.
