I'm no doubt your biggest fan. What do you think of the Simula inventors work?

  The Simula guys cannot be too highly praised, especially Nygaard.

    Nygaard (along with Møller-Pedersen) later designed the Beta language. A very fine "object oriented" language that tried to unify the concepts of classes, procedures and structures into "patterns". Seemed like a far better language than C++, Java etc. but it never quite took off. I wonder if it "lost" because a) it was not brashly promoted by an American company or b) it used (# ... #) instead of { ... } :-)
