What programming models where used before object oriented programming?
I started wondering about this ever since I got stuck with using ANSI-C (or asm) on a particular project...

A quick search reveals that historically most things were just procedural.
Wikipedia can tell you more (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm#History).

Huh, that could explain a few things, thanks.

Curious type of magnetic memory, to be sure, but how did the designers figure out which bit went where?
[Edit] Curios is not Curious, but it is intriguing... :drevil:

i figure the people who did the programming converted the machine code, by hand, into a weaving pattern and let the old ladies do what they do best.
