Nothing about the name "Simula" suggests actors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B#History isn't very clear, but it seems to suggest that templates weren't added to C++ until 1990 or later. The STL came around 1993, eleven years after the development of C++ started, not even counting its previous life as C with Classes. Surely in those eleven years people found other differentiators that kept up interest?
