Good OOP is good FP - they swim in the same water. composition, generics/adt's, elegance, encapsulation...

In it's ideal form it's about taming the metal like a trick pony.

I'm nowhere near that level, being a fortran in any language sorta guy lol, but when I see well-built stuff, I take notes. Matryushka dolls, lol

Kay et al were swimming in the same water as Hewitt etc, conceptually. He said that the key takeaway from OOP was objects passing messages (actor model), not so much the inheritance story (the composition)

but yes, they all criss-cross there
