<div id="ygrp-text"><p>Thanks David, Randy and James (I knew about the Star but had forgotten<br>
about this detail) for clearing up the history of the term. I don't know<br>
why I wrote my comment in the form of explaining the origin of it since<br>
I didn't know it and actually thought it unlikely that PARC people who<br>
worked with Smalltalk-80 would be familiar with Adele's Smalltalk-72 era<br>
efforts. And I had also talked with the Squeak Traits people at the same<br>
conference David did and knew that they had borrowed the term from Self.<br>
<br>
What I had wanted to point out was that the Self, Star and Adele use of<br>
"traits" are similar while the Squeak/Pharo and derived version of<br>
traits are similar to Self and Strongtalk mixins. So reading the papers<br>
about one version to better understand the other version might not be a<br>
good idea.<br>
