Tutorial: Event-Driven Programming

I don't understand why you totally ignore Smalltalk and Self languages in your paper about event-oriented programming. It looks like you dropped half of the whole event programming. The Smalltalk language itself is problematic, has many drawbacks, but all modern programming language and event frameworks designers try to reinvent the system which was already done in 1979. Looking on modern trends to massively distributed computing, I think that Smalltalk-like systems have a huge chance to reborn in the last decade, in somebody will implement the mix of distributed messaging + programming language with message-passing in its deep roots (actor model with async).

One of the truly informative papers I have read. Thank you so much for taking time to write it. I just created a sourceforge acct to tell you Thank You and what a fantastic paper...
