Kevlin Henney presents two of Barbara Liskov's foundational papers, Programming with Abstract Data Types (1974) and Abstraction Mechanism in CLU (1977): where data abstraction came from, the context it emerged in, and how it shaped object-oriented and functional language design since.
Papers We Love London reading-group format, hosted at Monzo near Liverpool Street. 18:30 to 20:00, free, RSVP on Meetup.
