Hi there, is this the same b5000 that inspired Dr Kay? On the hole OOP paradigm if I remember the quote correctly he said that the b5000 almost remove the notion of data and how he wanted to duplicate this behavior with OOP.
Can anyone more knowledgeable about this step in please and we can all learn more about it.
This is the same B5000 that Dr. Kay mentions in several of his talks.
Kay has often said that he saw the same idea three at least three different times before he fully appreciated the concepts that he later labeled ‘OOP’. Besides the B5000 (designed by Bob Barton), other proto-OOP systems were Sketchpad (Ivan Sutherland), Simula, and even the proto-Internet (that was known as the ARPAnet).
Can anyone more knowledgeable about this step in please and we can all learn more about it.
