More like we started with binary commands, moved on to assembler 
mnemonics, then Pascal / C type command-oriented, then class based 
object-oriented...

Since we're dealing with progressive levels of encapsulation here, the 
next layer deals with more abstract object types.  I believe Lisp and 
Haskell are examples of this level.  Following that, we would probably 
see something which allows more abstract manipulation of systems.
