Meanwhile, I finally made it through the "The Early History of Smalltalk" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/155360.155364).

I must say, Alan Kay is a master of throwing shade. For example, this quote: "Smalltalk-76 was a great improvement on its successors!" 🤔

Also, some neat connections to liberal arts.

I think the most interesting part is the motivation of OO being a way to control/eliminate assignment operations. I'm not sure I've ever seen OO described quite like that before.
