Message Oriented Programming - The Case for First Class Messages

By: Dave Thomas

Abstract

If something is interesting it should be modeled as an object. However, when one designs a real system, these objects are so interesting that they need to be modeled as classes or class collaborations with many methods. In this column, Dave Thomas argues that the message-centric view deserves more attention.
