only cuz Feynman passed away. But yes, Kay is pretty neat. It wasn't until I watched one of his talks that I figured out that his vision of OOP wasn't what I learned in C++ or Java.
"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them." -Alan Kay
