I would say that is the main theme of Stroustrup's paper from ECOOP'87
(What is "Object-Oriented Programming), a little simplified.
So, where on earth = in Paris (site of ECOOP'87) :-)
Obviously, it is hard to maintain that languages such as Ada and CLU
are not "object-oriented" in the least, unless one takes inheritance
as the single most important concept of OO.
