OO was already invented and Simula 67 is even referenced in the paper, but not yet recognized or understood in its significance; the claim about Algol 60 ("an improvement .. on nearly all its successors") is pretty bold.
- karmakaze 3y agoNot following the deduction--the 60 in Algol 60 refers to 1960. Simula was influenced by and implemented in Algol 60.
- Rochus 3y agoAnd in what respect does this contradict my statement? The paper appeared in 1973. (By the way: Simula 67 was mostly influenced by Simula I; both Simula versions are an extension of Algol 60; with some minor exceptions Algol 60 is a subset of Simula 67 - as later Stroustrup did it with C and C++).
