Many thanks for these links;
I especially appreciate the tutorials by Brian Will "Object-Oriented
Programming is Bad",
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM1iUe6IofM
the tips how to improve procedural programming from minute 33 ca.
This is so true, but certain tips require a language more powerful than C,
for example PL/1 or Pascal, which supports nesting of procedure and
function definitions.
I also liked the term "curly brace languages", which I never heard
before :-)
Even if you don't agree with the opinions expressed here, it is IMO of
great value
to look at these videos.
Kind regards

Hi,
49 years ago I 'stumbled' over Simula 67 (see video 1), well, at the
university "informatik 1" course. I had gotten an Algol60 book given
to me by my math teacher 2 years earlier. The student a year older
learned PL/1. WE had an /168 and the Simula 67 system from the NCC
(you can find it on the CBTTAPE, the turnkey system and elsewhere.
To assembler: On error, you got a nicely formatted storage dump of
objects. One motivation
After two years and the first graduation (Vordiplom) with punched
cards etc (but using the MFT like a PC), a got a job at at the CS
research center GMD: MVS, TSO SPF, another universe. It would take to
much here to explain all the reason why I did a lot of assembler
(because of this I was able to work in an internship at the swiss
Colony Computing Center), but I always more than mildly disliked aka
hated the non structured way of assembled. My work was to write a fast
program to create microfiches (block letters, index pages). The result
were a set of structured programming macros (also on the cbttape).
Later with UCLA/Mail, the formatting of "objects" on traces, dumps.
and stack of function. Just read the "assembler" code (CBTTAPE).
Anyway, here some nice videos.

actually, why is smalltalk so close to objective C. Because of a Byte
Magazine cover page.

Some are provocative. There are many others. I really like "going
virtually" to these conferences.
