> inventing ways to isolate code in a private machine

Reminds me of how Alan Kay described OOP as communicating objects, where each object is a kind of computer.

"I thought of objects being like biological cells and/or individual computers on a network, only able to communicate with messages."

I keep wondering where we would be now if we had not spent a decade or two eagerly running down that lane, before reassessing the be all end all solution nature OOP promised encapsulation to be. Perhaps not as far as we are after doing the meandering that we did, I think OOP has contributed a lot to the post-OOP world we live in now. It's not gone, it has just been demoted from ideology to tool.

We could argue that we've down the agents road since the microservices craziness. But this one backfired visibly and very soon and most people noped out of it in a blink.

The OOP humanity is so heavily invested on has very little relation to that vision on the GP.

You mean Services Oriented Architectures, or Common Object Request Broker Architecture, or maybe Distributed Computing Environment?
