I think that we suffer from a paucity of precise language around OOP. Everything is OOP, everything is what Kay created, etc.

But that's clearly not the case, and so people have these radically divergent systems of programming within the framework of "object orientation".

My read of this article and it is very message-passing OO to me. Its broadcast mechanism is interesting, for sure. But it reads a lot like Erlang's supervision tree without all that troublesome thinking about a network.

But it's approach is still very "OO".
