I guess I am an OO COBOL foreigner ;)

I know COBOL, but all my OO applications have been in Delphi, C++ or Java.
The thing is, when I study OO theory it is not language specific (ex: Gang
of four patterns etc.). So out of sheer curiosity I wonder if this is not
the case for OO COBOL?

I don't have any clients using OO COBOL, so I guess that's why I ask. It
might happen someday...
