A great paper from 2004 by Richard P. Gabriel (Lucid, Inc.), Jon L White (Lucid, Inc.), Daniel G. Bobrow (Xerox PARC) that explains how Common Lisp Object System integrates functional and object-oriented programming: dreamsongs.com/Files/clos-cacm

While cleaning up my emails, I noticed this link from the Computer History Museum (CHM) newsletter... 👀

This looks to be the exact turtle that was used at my school when I was young. It’s from a video by Computer History Museum called Yesterday's Computer of Tomorrow: The Xerox Alto │Smalltalk-76 Demo where Dan Ingalls walks through using Smalltalk-76. The video ends with a tour of the Learning Research Group (LRG) at Xerox PARC that shows the turtle next to a giant roll of paper for the turtle to draw on. 🐢

Always so daring,ignorance
I doubt that has read anything about
Jobs WAS NOT an engineer and did not know how to program.
Knew how to sell and how to sell himself.
In 1979 Jobs saw what there was at broom room
From there computers were born
, founded after his departure was a failure.
Politics, bizz, intelligentsia no leader there is equal to another
Musk not Jobs but her writing points that problem is that Musk is white
I agree on that.

Apple ne s'est pas limité à copier ce qu'ils ont vu au PARC, mais s'en sont est inspirée et a créé de nombreux outils beaucoup plus interactifs que ceux de XEROX et offrant beaucoup plus de fonctionnalités. On peut dès lors se demander a quoi ressembleraient nos interfaces si cette visite n'avait pas eu lieu et surtout sans Douglas Engelbart.

Son équipe est également à l"origine du "Bitmap".
Leurs visions, pas réellemment utilisables en dehors des labos informatiques de l'époque ont ensuite fait des petits au XEROX PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) puis chez Apple avec le Lisa et le Mac suite à une visite de Steve Jobs et son équipe, mais ... 10 ans plus tard.
