Objects are Just Objects, Aren't they?
summary
Explains the distinction between Abstract Data Types (as used in statically typed languages like C++ and Java) and true objects as in Ruby, arguing that many common beliefs about a unified ‘object-oriented’ model are mistaken. Covers historical papers by Peter Wegner and William Cook, draws connections between closures (Lisp/Scheme) and true objects, and outlines practical consequences of these differences for Ruby programmers.
