CLU
CLU is an early form of object-oriented programming language developed by Barbara Liskov and her students at MIT at around the same time as Smalltalk was being developed at Xerox Park. CLU reflected Liskov's interest in abstract data types and is interesting for it's influence on subsequent languages (see Wikipedia's CLU page) as well as for the ways that it differed to languages such as Smalltalk:"The big difference between my work and the Smalltalk work was that I focused on making a very strong distinction between what a module did and how it was accomplished, whereas a lot of people in the early days were more about the implementation technique."
