Alan Kay, a principal architect of the Croquet Project, has been awarded the 2003 Turing Award by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Alan will receive the "Nobel Prize of Computing" in a ceremony in June, as well as a cash award, for his pioneering work on Smalltalk, the first complete dynamic object-oriented programming (OOP) language. Smalltalk is credited as the model for C++ and Java.
