Ok so I really do think Tesler may have invented the keyword for lisp. Lisp70 was based on exploration from MLisp and MLisp2 - neither of which had colon prefixed symbols. I wonder if it was inspired by the smalltalk selector syntax but in reverse? He was definitely involved with that and even further Alan Kay is thanked in the Lisp70 paper. Anyway I would be glad to be wrong if someone can point to prior art!
I'm headed to St. Louis to attend the #StrangeLoop2023 conference. Who else is going to be there? Would love to meet new folks and hear what you're interested in!
@AnnMariePT me! What are you interested in?
I just learned about unit.land from the #langEsoteric
I am loving the 30 min I've had time to watch, esp where I just got to him mentioning #AlanKay, possibly my favorite original.
Andre ting man finner i kjelleren. Reklamebladet Apple Nytt (#AppleNYTT ?) fra 1991, som inneholder et intervju med Kristen Nygård om #Simula og #objektorientering.
I intervjuet forsøker Kristen Nygård å forklare objektorientert programmering (#OOP).
I tillegg til Ole-Johan Dahl så nevnes Alan Kay, Xerox PARC, #SmallTalk og Apple Lisa (skrevet som LISA). Endel unøyaktigheter er det i teksten, f.eks. Alan Kay skrev ikke SmallTalk alene, men det er vel ikke så galt til å være et reklameblad.
「 Kay envisioned a new sort of software environment and programming language for the Dynabook. In this digital world, children and adults alike would be able to create their own tools, models, and simulations; share them and build on one another’s work; and exchange the resulting knowledge. The key to accomplishing all that would be a new approach to coding that came to be known as object-oriented programming」
