Home » forums » LtU Forum The Myths of Object-Orientation The Myths of Object-Orientation, presented by James Noble (whose work has been discussed here before) at ECOOPâ€™09, is a post-Marxist analysis that examines object orientation from a number of angles. From the abstract: Object-Orientation is now over forty years old. In that time, Object-Oriented programming has moved from a Scandinavian cult to a world-wide standard. In this talk Iâ€™ll revisit the essential principles â€” myths â€” of object-orientation, and discuss their role in the evolution of languages from SIMULA to Smalltalk to C++ to Java and beyond. Only by keeping the object-oriented faith can we ensure full-spectrum object-oriented dominance for the next forty years in the project for a new object-oriented century!
