Which OOP language is not fundamentally broken? Smalltalk?
1 comments

All languages have warts.
That's a truism. Now, which OOP language is not fundamentally broken?
All of them, none of them.

Point us to a language that isn't broken in some way, an example of perfection that every language designer should aspire to follow.

And then show us how that perfection has helped that language to take over the computing world.

Every language is broken in some way, which is different from being fundamentally broken.
Which language is broken but but fundamentally? What does 'fundamentally' mean here?
Broken is broken, by definition.
A language like StandardML would come rather close.
