IMO, that text is confusing.

“Not nothing” is saying it has some OO features.

“I don't think it's incorrect to say has any more OOP than general purpose languages like Lua or JavaScript in that sense” = I think this language has more OOP than languages like Lua or JavaScript”

So, that more or less says “A, but A”. If so, what’s the “but” about?

I think it needs more negatives. "I don't think it's incorrect to say [it does not have] any more OOP than general purpose languages like Lua or JavaScript in that sense".

I had retyped it a few times trying not to come off as overly negative or a jerk.
