Simula is a name for two programming languages, Simula I and Simula 67, developed in the 1960s at the
Norwegian Computing Center in
Oslo, by
Ole-Johan Dahl and
Kristen Nygaard.
Syntactically, it is a fairly faithful superset of
Algol 60.Simula 67 introduced
objects,
classes,
subclasses,
virtual methods,
coroutines,
discrete event simulation, and features
garbage collection.Simula is considered one of the earliest
object-oriented programming languages. As its name implies, Simula was designed for doing simulations, and the needs of that domain provided the framework for many of the features of object-oriented languages today.
