ABSTRACT
This paper describes a programming system based on the metaphor of communicating objects. Experience with a running system shows that this model provides flexibility, modularity and compactness. A compiled representation for the language is presented, along with an interpreter suitable for microcoding. The object-oriented model provides naturally efficient addressing; a corresponding virtual memory is described which offers dense utilization of resident space.

Programming with explicit metaclasses in Smalltalk-80
OOPSLA '89: Conference proceedings on Object-oriented programming systems, languages and applicationsThis paper discusses the introduction of explicit metaclasses á la ObjVlisp into the Smalltalk-80 language. The rigidity of Smalltalk metaclass architecture motivated this work. We decided to implement the ObjVlisp model into the standard Smalltalk-80 ...

Though Ada and Modula-2 are not object-oriented languages, an object-oriented viewpoint is crucial for effective use of their module facilities. It is therefore instructive to compare the capabilities of a modular language such as Ada with an archetypal ...
