Cleaned-up HTML version of Alan Kay's HOPL paper, "The Early History of Smalltalk"
"Marion Goldeen" should have been Marian Goldeen. She wrote about the experience in The Best of Creative Computing Volume 1 (published 1976, p61) and currently works at Apple, closing the circle with Kay.
Unfortunately, this typo was present in Kay's original text but it seems reasonable to correct it in this reprinting?
"In this scheme (1 & 4) imply that classes are objects and that they must be instances of themself."
Is the quasi-singular possessive 'themself' intentional? In some way to be a specific concept for OOP classes?
It is sad that an idea which is about awareness of other people contributions is constantly misattributed to Newton like does Alan Kay

There is no [In 78] entry in either of scanned documents' references section while text cites this work of Dan. I think this should be changed to [Ingalls 78]. Citation appears at the last paragraph of "THE FIRST MODERN SMALLTALK(-76), ITS BIRTH, APPLICATIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS" section.
Having the text left aligned makes right aligned quotes look bad compared to the original PDF, IMHO. What do you think?
Thanks for converting the PDF to HTML, it looks much better and it's easier to search through and more accessible!

When was this essay published? Unfortunately it doesn't contain a date in the paper itself
I can find it here https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/154766.155364 saying it was published in March 1993 at ACM but I don't know if it was the first publication (maybe?).
I suggest adding a note with the publication date to the http://worrydream.com/EarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk/ site
Is that intentional? Or can that be added?
