Alan Kay is the greatest genius alive. Period.
- iamwil 19y agoonly cuz Feynman passed away. But yes, Kay is pretty neat. It wasn't until I watched one of his talks that I figured out that his vision of OOP wasn't what I learned in C++ or Java.
- andreyf 19y ago"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them." -Alan Kay http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/pub/pub_jf47ht34Ht/doc_kay_oop_en http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/pub/pub_jf47ht34Ht/doc_kay...
