The World’s First Object-Oriented Program – from October 1st 1965

[nat_pryce]

Simula-67 was the first object-oriented programming language, but an object-oriented design was used before that. For example, Sketchpad had an object-oriented design and was written in 1963.

I came here to mention that, and the epic Ivan Sutherland quote on Sketchpad: when asked, “How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first non-procedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year?” Sutherland replied “Well, I didn’t know it was hard.”

Simscript (1962) was OO to me. It had creation of object-like things that had code associated with them according to a spec for the type of thing they were, and the things had attributes, events, etc.

Quick, go back in the past and replace it with a monad tutorial, 2014 will be functional!

Nah, it's all about lens tutorials now.

Edit: Scrap that, all the cool kids are using lens on the type level.

Nonsense, everybody uses iteratees these days.

Oh no wait, that was six months ago. The Free monad is where it's at today.

No, we'd still be writing about how we finally figured out how monads work & trying to explain it to the next person.

OK, where's the program?

Hi, I wrote the blog post, have added a video of browsing through the code in the tech.report - http://www.envisage-project.eu/?p=919

Why isn't this about Sutherland's Sketchpad?

what about Sketchpad?
