There are modern OO languages that stay true to Alan Kay's ideas too. The problem is that they all seem insignificant in impact when compared to Java, which relentlessly sacrifices purity for pragmatism.

What I'm asking is, how will the actor model stop people from taking those pure ideas and turning them into another Java? Isn't it just a matter of time? If that's the case, then it hasn't really "fixed" anything about OO.
