Good news, bad news: experience building software development environment using the object-oriented paradigm
William Harrison, P. F. Sweeney, John J. Shilling · 1989
This paper presents our experience building an extendible software development environment using the object-oriented paradigm. We have found that object instances provide a natural way to model program constructs, and to capture complex relationships between different aspects of a software system. The object-oriented paradigm can be efficiently implemented on standard hardware and software, and provides some degree of extendibility without requiring major modifications to the existing implementation.
