All of this reflects my thoughts on the matters, and I&#x27;ve been waiting more than 15 years for the co-called Actor model to &#x27;come around&#x27;, grieving the use of the term &#x27;Object Oriented&#x27; in the meantime.<p>This comes across as strongly worded, but I&#x27;m going to let it stand, given the understanding that the C++ and Java style of &#x27;Object Oriented&#x27; has value in a lot of situations and circumstances.  Though I have leaned very heavily on Kay&#x27;s &#x27;Actor Model&#x27; over the years, C++ style OOP has also been useful from time to time.
