Simula

The Simula language was developed by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard and this included Object-Oriented concepts. Simula can therefore be considered the first object-oriented programming language, and a predecessor to Smalltalk, C++, Java, C#, and other object-oriented languages. Simula was designed for performing simulations, and the needs of that domain provided the framework for many of the features of object-oriented languages. Simula included objects, classes, subclasses, virtual methods, coroutines, garbage collection, and discrete event simulation.
