The document discusses a software architecture meetup in December 2018 featuring insights from figures like Alan Kay and Alexander Stepanov. Key themes include criticism of current computer science education, particularly the focus on Java, and skepticism towards object-oriented programming methodologies. It emphasizes that the future of technology is not predetermined and can be shaped by our decisions and innovations.

- 3. Alan Kay Meeting at PARC 1984 The future is not laid out on a track. It is something that we can decide, and to the extent that we do not violate any known laws of the universe, we can probably make it work the way that we want to.
- 4. Alan Kay ACM Queue A conversation with Alan Kay December 2004 I fear âas far as I can tellâ that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training. Iâve heard complaints from even mighty Stanford University with its illustrious faculty that basically the undergraduate computer science program is little more than Java certification.
- 5. Alexander Stepanov I find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that span multiple types.
- 6. Alexander Stepanov I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting - saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with proofs.
