In "Object-Oriented programming an evolutionary approach", Brad J. Cox (the inventor of Objective-C) hoped for the birth of "software-ICs", software components that should have been widely reusable, and documented with the equivalent of the datasheets used for traditional ICs. This was his vision for OOP.
