@iska @Doll @ForbiddenDreamer It is a joke image.

> Smalltalk was in development in parallel with Unix,

"Structured programming" was the silver bullet when Unix initially took off. OOP wasn't the big-deal thing until the 80s, and Smalltalk wasn't public until 1981. On the internet are Rob Pike's notes about visiting Xerox PARC in 1984: https://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2019/01/notes-from-1984-trip-to-xerox-parc.html . It's an interesting read to see the perspective of a Bell Labs guy on what was going on there: Jobs and Gates were interested in selling their versions of it, but this is a researcher making notes about the system.

I don't think Gates made his notes public but Jobs mentioned the visit to PARC in a lot of speeches/interviews and said that the three things that impressed him when he got his demo were networking, GUIs, and OOP.
