He was using a large and detailed simulator, that he had written in Simula, to simulate running software over a network of computers. He found programming in Simula enjoyable and was impressed by how the programs class structure helped him organize his code. As the size of his program increased, he found that the language became increasingly more helpful.
Simula's class structure allowed him to organize his program as a collection of smaller programs, which made programs easier to read, write, debug, and maintain. However, when it came to the implementation of his Simula program, his project nearly ended in disaster.
