Enough flames about who teaches what and the value whereof. I'd like to know what have people accomplished with object oriented languages. How many real "nuts and bolts" pieces of software that people are using to get production work done is being built with object oriented languages. Objective language folks are making claims like FORTH fanatics. But so far, all I've read about such languages is that they run on super single personal mini computers, or they run a good sized VAX into the ground. Those of you fortunates to have a personal mainframe, what REAL problems are you tackling, and how successful have you been at meeting your goals? Also, anyone out there using Objective-C or C++?

From: Kirk Kelley <KIRK.TYM@OFFICE-2.ARPA> I got into this group after the talk about Objective-C and C++. The archives are not available to me, so if anyone has kept at least the dialog on object oriented programming, I'd like to see it. There is an "Object-Oriented Graphical Kernel System" mentioned in the July Computer Graphics World. It implements GKS and useful portions of PHIGS and IGES CAD/CAM grpahics standards in Objective-C. One of the authors, "Thomas Lubinski" is listed as founder and serior associate of Sherrill-Lubinski "a San Francisco-based research and development firm specializing in the application of object-oriented technology to problems of modeling and simulation." However, neither he nor his company are listed in the phone book. Anyone know how to get in touch? -- kirk
