Functional Objects

Functional Objects. Matthias Felleisen. ECOOP 2004. slides (pdf).

In my talk, I will compare and contrast the two ideas of programming and programming language design. I will present and defend the thesis that good object-oriented programming heavily "borrows" from functional programming and that the future of object-oriented programming is to study functional programming and language design even more.

Not all that much that is new for LtU readers, but a nice overview none the less. Includes some details about the PLT Scheme approach to modules and objects.
