Alan Kay is one of the heroes of modern computer programming. He is one of the fathers of the idea of object-oriented software development and coined the term OOP. There is a great talk on Google Video: Alan Kay’s keynote “The Computer Revolution hasn’t happend yet” from OOPSLA97 (Atlanta, Georgia). OOPSLA (Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications) is an annual ACM conference. In his talk Kay predicts that every object in a distributed world could have an URL. Every URL could be connected to an object. With modern web technologies (like Django) this today is reality.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” This most frequently quoted statement by Kay comes to my mind, when I saw his visionary keynote from ten years ago.
