Well...it also wasn't really new, POP is just OOP by people who didn't understand OOP (and overcomplicated it) https://blog.metaobject.com/2015/06/protocol-ori

  "Compiler Oriented Programming"... nice one.

  Funny article! Yes, OO as defined by Alan Kay was about the interface, protocol or what ever we call it in a given language. It's a tool for abstraction, so you think about communicating instead of structure and state. Now, most modern (~10y/o) general purpose languages I know have moved away from ADTs or simply inheritance. Inheritance was just a means to an end and never the point.

  Unfortunately, the notion “OOP” has been taken hostage by C++ and Java and they don’t want to give it back.
