Soup – Alan Kay on Objects
Allow me one suggestion about Kay, it seems the man knows way too much to be understood by the average us. Not pompously, it&#x27;s just that when he means A we read B. That led to the drift between Smalltalk OO and cpp OO. I thought it was exagerated, but smalltalk is really entirely different from cpp&#x2F;java. It has the same vocabulary, but the reality is quite surprising.<p>Kay had education in abstract algebra, cell biology(apparently).. he was fond of old varied computing arch (burroughs). So my point is, before reading his text, do yourself a favor, dig in the litterature deeply and broadly.
