Techopedia Explains Simula
IT experts characterize Simula as in some ways the first object-oriented programming (OOP) language. Developers Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard helped lead the charge to design programming languages around objects instead of procedures or linear functions. The idea of object “classes” so vital to modern OOP development was also new to Simula.
