The 21 pages that link to Object-oriented programming, each with the reason it gives.

• AbstractionRelated: Objects offer abstractions that group data and operations behind defined interfaces.

• Functional programmingCompared with: Its encapsulated mutable objects offer a different way to organize state and behavior.

• Structured programmingCompared with: It adds an organizing principle beyond the control-flow structure emphasized here.

• Xerox PARCRelated: PARC researchers advanced object-oriented ideas through the Smalltalk programming language.

• C++Related: C++ supports classes, inheritance, and polymorphism without requiring every program to use them.

• SmalltalkNarrower topic: Smalltalk is a foundational, consistently object-oriented example of this broader paradigm.

• SketchpadRelated: Sketchpad’s master drawings and instances anticipated ideas later associated with object-oriented systems.

• Alan KayNarrower topic: Kay helped develop this approach, especially its message-passing and modularity principles.

• Declarative programmingCompared with: It organizes programs around interacting stateful objects, a different primary organizing idea.

• Procedural programmingCompared with: It groups behavior with objects, unlike procedural code's emphasis on procedures.

• Imperative programmingRelated: Many object-oriented languages use imperative commands to update object state.

• Barbara LiskovNarrower topic: Her work on types and substitution became central to object-oriented design.

• Bjarne StroustrupRelated: Stroustrup incorporated classes and related ideas while preserving C’s systems-programming strengths.

• James GoslingNarrower topic: Java’s design applies object-oriented ideas to portable application development.

• Kristen NygaardNarrower topic: Nygaard’s work on Simula helped establish this programming paradigm.

• Modular programmingCompared with: Object-oriented design is one way to structure modules, not a requirement of modular programming.

• Programming paradigmBroader topic: It structures programs around interacting objects and their responsibilities.

• Objective-CNarrower topic: Objective-C adds classes, inheritance, and polymorphism to its C base.

• Physical objectRelated: Its objects are computational models, not necessarily tangible entities.

• C SharpNarrower topic: C# directly supports classes, inheritance, interfaces, and other object-oriented techniques.

• Yukihiro MatsumotoNarrower topic: Ruby treats values as objects and makes object-oriented programming central to its design.
