Please reread more carefully the above. I do give credit to Smalltalk's author for the *term* "OOP", and *most* (not *all*) of the concepts (I strongly disagree with your opinion that message-passing is not a core concept of OO). FWIW, I first mentionned Simula too (about the state-machine and simulation aspect), then sniped this mention because I thought it was getting a bit too much OT - we're not on comp.object here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
