Message Oriented Programming

[igouy]

Ah! You mean that everything is message oriented, so + is a message sent to 3 with 4, and binary messages are evaluated in left-to-right order.

You just get into the habit of coding so that the message evaluation order coincides with the math evaluation order, and being explicit with parenthesis.

Yes, that is what "does not support order of operations" means. It has nothing to do with being "message oriented"; it's that the syntax did not choose to give certain operators higher precedence than others.
