pioneers of the abstract data type or object-oriented modularization/
Wirth 1979`founders of abstract data type were C.A.R. Hoare, P. Brinch Hansen:
. I had recently heard prof Liskov 2013
explaining how she was the origin of the ADT
(abstract data type) back in 1971
when she was working on the Venus system;
http://amerdreamdocs.blogspot.com/2021/07/drbarbara-liskovthe-software-crisis.html
but prof Wirth 1979 claims the idea came from
C.A.R. Hoare and P. Brinch Hansen;
however, he gives no details or a date.
. about the same time that Liskov was working on Venus
David L. Parnas was mentioning "information hiding"
referring to object-oriented modules
being preferred to functional decomposition.
21.7.16: adde/graphics/user-defined painting tools:
. all the painting tools in the graphics editor
come with high-level instructions (adda code)
that users can copy and modify
for coding their own tools.
. your brush can have a parameters page of your own design
not just the usual tool width, flow density, etc.
. each tool is launching a subprogram
that can have any number of novel parameters.

Dr.Barbara Liskov`the software crisis averted with modularity based on data abstraction:
. the key to programming in the large
is modularity based on data abstraction
and that was not obvious before her work,
but now her work is mainstream, so it now seems obvious.
