The Origins of OOP

Read Original

This article details the history of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), starting with early concepts at MIT and the 1963 Sketchpad program. It covers the development of Simula I and Simula-67 by Nygaard and Dahl, their influence on modern languages, and Alan Kay's coining of the term 'OOP' with his original 'message-oriented' philosophy that differs from today's common understanding.
