Plan 9 is object-oriented. The objects have a file-like abstraction
and interactions with the objects are mediated by a network protocol
that abstracts all the network messiness away.
C++ on Plan 9 is a whole other issue. It's bad enough that it has
invaded my work life, having it invade my hobby computing environment
would just make me sad. And most C++ is at best what I'd call
naively object oriented. C-with-classes is a better name, and,
frankly, more palatable than what's it has grown into.
I can easily imagine a nice smalltalk implementation for Plan 9 that
plays well with the 9P servers. That would be sexy. But C-double-
cross is not compatible with Plan 9's "do it cleanly" aesthetic.
