The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is known as a true object-oriented programming language. Smalltalk is considered as the first true object-oriented programming language. The popular object-oriented languages are Java, C#, PHP, Python, C++, etc. The main aim of object-oriented programming is to implement real-world entities by using object-oriented concepts such as objects, classes, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.
