There are many, many reasons why one might want to go from C to C++. 
OOP is one of those, but it is far from the only one.  Several people in 
this group have said they prefer to use a C++ compiler to compile their 
C code, because it does better type checking - it is not uncommon to use 
C++ simply as "a better C".  Features such as better "const", function 
overloading, and namespaces are not OOP, but they make C++ a more 
flexible language for procedural programming than C.

It is, however, fair to say that OOP /used/ to be a more significant 
reason to pick C++, as it took a while for the language, the tools, the 
idioms, and the programmers to be good at generic programming, and now 
some functional programming.

There is nothing but your claim and your conflation of C++ and OOP to 
indicate that it /is/ relevant - at least in the C vs. C++ context. 
(I'd agree that picking "whitespace" as the project language would make 
it likely to fail.)
