Object Oriented-ness can easily be achieved by preprocessing, on top
of any programming languages that provides functions (or procedures)
as values (eg : C, Lisp). 

For other languages (such as Ada for example), the preprocessing
is still possible but relies more heavily on the quality of the 
compiler and makes separate compilation more difficult to manage. 


Thus, if the system on which you compile is reentrant, your object-
oriented code will be reentrant.
