Smalltalk-76/80 Development

Inspired by Simula, Alan Kay and his team at Xerox PARC developed Smalltalk, a truly object-oriented language. Crucially, Trygve Reenskaug implemented the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern within Smalltalk-80, establishing a fundamental architectural concept for frameworks.

Significance

Smalltalk's MVC pattern laid the conceptual groundwork for how application components could be separated and managed, profoundly influencing the design of subsequent frameworks.
