My answer to that question would be that it *did*
catch on, it's just that we changed the terminology.
Instead of message passing, we talk about calling
methods.

IMO the term "message passing" in Smalltalk is
misleading, because it suggests there is something
asynchronous going on, but there isn't. It's just
a subroutine call.
