Violet Garden Steve Jobs Contrato Inteligente

In October 5th the world remembered the Steve Jobs death at the age of 56, working with advertising and graphic design I was an early user of his company products, Apple Macintosh computers and OS mainly. After he left Apple in 1985, creating the Next Computer, he became an evangelist of WebObjects. In 1996 I've read his interview to Wired Magazine - Steve Jobs: The Next Insanely Great Thing - and finished thinking that I'd soon quit using Photoshop and instead assembly brushes, color filters, lasso and cutter tools gathered from the web to make my own version of the ideal image manipulation and paint software.
I'm not a programmer but since I learned more about cryptography and blockchain I wonder if smart contracts could materialize Steve Jobs vision, the Wired article published 25 years ago defined Objects as software modules that can be combined into new applications, much as pieces of Lego are built into toy houses. I found this video on YouTube - Steve Jobs presents WebObjects at MSPDC (1996) - and this 2016 post on CNN Business: Steve Jobs' favorite project from 1996 is officially dead.
Could WebObjects still inspire blockchain smart contracts evolution? Its vision still applies or even are already incorporated in the actual W1 and W2 apps leaving to W3 a fresh new frontier?
Keep safe, thanks and good luck again!

I shared this post on EdenOS Members group on Telegram and received this interesting explanation from Todd Fleming (tbfleming) there:
"This was an era where Visual Basic Components were the current rage in reusable code in corporate environments, and OOP languages, loaded with hype, were ready to take over the world of developers. The puritanical wing of C++ was in open revolt, preparing to leave to Java. The whole world looked like it was heading towards a modular future. It didn't work. VB components and their 2 major successors from MS died out. Java produced an incomprehensible set of practices culminating in the AbstractSingletonFactoryBean joke. All popular OOP languages ended up producing monolithic spaghetti, contrary to the early promise of Objects. Much of the world moved on, leading to generic programming, semi-functional programming (e.g. React, which is used for many web UIs), lambda services, containers, and other approaches."
