How did Liskov's work influence modern programming?

Answered in Barbara Liskov's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My work, especially with the CLU and Argus programming languages, introduced and formalized concepts like data abstraction and object-oriented programming. By emphasizing the separation of interface from implementation, we aimed to make software more modular, understandable, and easier to maintain. These principles are now fundamental to how we build complex software systems today.
