Simula was the language my university teached object-oriented programming. This was around 1995 or so. Java had just entered public consciousness but it was too early to be considered. C++ was probably not considered pure enough to get the concepts across.
It was probably a good choice, for the time and for the course objectives. But I never used it since.
- colordrops 3y agoI was studying around the same time and it was all Scheme, Prolog, and C/C++, along with some obscure academic languages.
- flurdy 3y agoI am glad my first year at Uni (1994) they focused on SML a lot. Got a good base for the rest of our programming journey. Even now that I live in mostly Scala-land nearly 30 years later. And yes also a lot of other languages over the course's years. I still remember being forced to do bits of VHDL. We were taught the history of Simula (and Algol) but had to use C++ as our main object orientated language. They refused to teach my year Java so we had to learn that on our own.
- Rochus 3y agoAt which university was that?
- optimalsolver 3y ago>teached Should be "taught". Just FYI.
- mongol 3y agoYeah I should have known that, thanks
