Ask HN: Is the majority of modern web code object oriented

I have written mostly procedural code for myself on side projects but work in an Object Oriented code base for my full time job. I was just wondering if my day to day work is the standard, or my side projects.

Well, looking at langpop.com we can see that C is still on top but if we sum all the other top player like Java, Javascript, Ruby, Python, C++ I would say that OO wins.(I didn't consider PHP because it's a bit of both)

Looking at github(http://githut.info/) it seems pretty evident that at the moment OO is leading. But I don't think there is a "right way", you should write code in what you are comfortable. Especially for you side projects.

Consider me ignorant, but I assume that with Javascript, Java, Python being the top on githut.info, that is what your are basing your info on. Can't all three be procedural instead of OO?
