True, but with the caveat that, given the appropriate class definition, any OO language can.

“Smalltalk“

accountBalance := AccountBalance new.

//Java:

AccountBalance accountBalance = new AccountBalance();

And, having written that, I suddenly remember why, as a Smalltalk devotee, I find it easier to understand why one could be a COBOL aficionado than Java zealot ;-)
