Congradulations Dave!
David Ungar will receive the 2009 Dahl-Nygaard Senior Prize for his groundbreaking work in the field of object-orientation. The Dahl-Nygaard Prize will recognize Ungar’s complete body of work, most notably for his role in inventing Self, the object-oriented programming language based on the concept of prototypes.

I also want to congratulate, and thank, David Unger for his contributions to computer science. Self certainly has extended our understanding of computer languages by focusing on their core. Thanks again.

Congratulations to Dave and I hope this will be the first of many (and to Randy as well).
