That's not necessarily ideal though.  Some types of projects might lend
themselves better to a more procedural style of coding, and some people might
prefer one or the other.  I'm not sure I like languages that force one style on
the programmer.  I do tend to write most things in an object oriented way
though.  It seems a bit silly in languages that force object-oriented
programming, that their main function has to be a static function that's part
of a class.  :P  Java is like that, at least..
