In "Object-Oriented programming an evolutionary approach", Brad J. Cox (the inventor of Objective-C) hoped for the birth of "software-ICs", software components that should have been widely reusable, and documented with the equivalent of the datasheets used for traditional ICs. This was his vision for OOP.

IC datasheets are dominated by the mundane but critical things like timing diagrams and electrical tolerances. Software components can't even agree on which "ICs" fit into which breadboards.
