Reading an early history of Smalltalk (
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/155360.155364) and I'm struck by its tone of optimism about making computing something for everyone.
I'm also left wondering if the real (current) problem with OOP is that it was ultimately made into something for "professionals." You know, real programmers.
