Note this email and conclusion are from 2003-07-23:
> OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them.
- dfox 10y agoThe original article gives some important context to this sentence, as otherwise it is slightly weird, as both ST-80 (at least in comparison to earlier Smalltalks) and CLOS does not have that much explicit concept of messaging and in both cases it's essentially late bound function call.
- gnaritas 10y agoWhat? Smalltalk80 has #doesNotUnderstand: which allows explicit handling of messages directly so no, it's not a late bound function call.
