Simulee, Simula, Simulee, Simu-la-ah-ah-ah

Recently, a certain “gentle-reader” questioned my statement in my “mini-memoir” that Simula lacked classes and inheritance.
I stand by my guns. Simula (now known as Simula I) had neither. These were introduced by Simula-67 about five years later. It was Simula rather than Simula-67 which was one of the influences on Alan Kay’s early conception of Smalltalk.
For more details, see my reply to “gentle reader” in the comments to my mini-bio article.
