You may be interested to hear, if you haven't already, that the 2001 ACM Turing award has been given to Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl for their work on the SIMULA programming language whose concepts lie at the heart of everything object-oriented. This follows closely on their award of the IEEE von Neumann Medal for 2002. These are probably the most prestigious awards in the computing profession. In 2000, Nygaard and Dahl were made Commanders of the Norwegian Order of St. Olav in recognition of the impact of their work internationally.
