That would be an oxymoron anyway: you cannot have an abstract machine.
Machines are concrete things. OO is less about design of software than
about machines and languages, or should be at most.

I would not say that Java 7 is the least perfect language in existence. It is
fine for doing low level things, an os kernel for instance, but it is
not God's gift to mankind. Limbo is fine, but Java 7 is not Limbo. If you ask
me I like Forth better than Java 7.
