In spite of unquestioned advantages of OO languages, C still remains the best known and widespread implementation language. Most developers still exclusively use procedural programming techniques, and many are unaware that it's quite easy to implement key OO concepts directly in C. Promoting this awareness may be important for at least two reasons.
The first is leveraging OO technology. Most OO designs can be implemented in C, but many developers wouldn't consider them without the availability of an OO language. This unnecessarily limits application of the technology.
The second is smoothing transition from procedural to OO thinking. Migrating to OO technology can require quite a leap in your way of thinking. Implementing OO concepts in currently used and familiar languages gives you an opportunity to get exposed to the new programming paradigm right away and without major investment.
