Alan Kay's definition of OOP is my favourite one, though
I actually extended it a bit; for instance, erlang/elixir
kind of have "failsafe, reliable objects". Now, barely anyone
would call these languages OOP, but IMO it follows just logically
similar to Alan Kay's definition. Probably a new language may be
required, which is hard to do (make it a succes, that is hard),
but along those lines of having a wider definition of OOP. What
I definitely hate is the limitation towards C++ and Java. Those
two languages really messed up the OOP term, and then we had
clown languages such as PHP just copy/pasting that definition
and not understanding what OOP is really all about.
