Alan Kay at OOPSLA 1997 - The computer revolution hasnt happened yet
Jeff Gonis
Alan Kay's 1997 OOPSLA keynote, preserved on YouTube after being lost from Google Video. He discusses what object orientation was meant to be, messaging, system design, and the state of computing practice.
Treated as a foundational talk, cited constantly for Kay's views on object-oriented programming and for rethinking software practice.
