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.
