What is local storage in programming? Alan Kay Quote Link

Question

Alan Kay said

OOP for me means only messaging, local storage and protection, and

concealment of the state process and extreme late binding of all things.

What is local hold? Can anyone explain an example from any programming language (e.g. Java, Scala, Lisp, Haskell)

Answer 1

To parse the sentence correctly, "OOP for me means only

• messaging
• (local storage, protection and hiding) process states
• extreme late binding of all things "

Therefore, I think that “local storage ... of the state process” simply means that the state is stored locally inside the objects.
