oop it was not. perhaps prototypical.

cmrdporcupine on Aug 11, 2017 [–]

If you don't think prototype programming is OO, your definition of OO is remarkably restrictive (and in my opinion wrong.)

I'd suggest reading up on Self -- or Smalltalk-72 for that matter.

My first OO programming language was the 'MOO' language used in the online LambdaMOO text-'VR' worlds.
