Be careful, Smalltalk ahead - literally. Do you know Alan Kay. I bet you do. This gentleman worked at companies like Apple, Atari, Disney, Xerox PARC, Hewlett Packard an others and not only did he shape the industry, he defined, how we interact with computers nowadays.

Alan Kay built user interfaces in the age of the ARPANET, received the Turing Award in 2003, was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Royal Society of Arts, and the Computer History Museum. What a mouth full.

All for reasons.

Objected oriented programming, graphical user interfaces but especially Smalltalk the language would not be - or would be at least very much different.

This gentleman shaped the digital world we live in today. And he started doing so way back in the 70s. The rather long interview with Alan - done by Devon Zuegel - is a super interesting read, if you are interested in computer history.
