Abstract

Simula 1 (1962-1964) and Simula 67 (1967) were the first two object-oriented (OO) languages. Simula 67 introduced most of the key concepts of object-oriented programming: objects, classes, subclasses (usually referred to as inheritance), and virtual procedures, combined with safe referencing mechanisms for making the contents of separately compiled classes available to programs.
