Actually, your personal staste has a lot to do with it, since you've picked Alan Kay's/Smalltalk as the de facto definition of oop.
While you may prefer Alan Kay's definition, it is only a subjective one. It was not the first one and it is not the only one, so dismissin Java as less oop than Erlang is premature.

- Zak 16y agoIt was not the first one I'm pretty sure Alan Kay invented the term "object-oriented programming", which gives his definition some precedence over any other.
