- [deletions]
-
- Macintosh Common Lisp, another OO extension to Lisp. Heard lots of good
- things about it, but like SmallTalk not really viable for shrink wrap
- software development.
-
- Not to pick nits or anything, but MCL is not an OO extention of Lisp,
- but rather it is an implementation of Common Lisp. The Common Lisp
- standard includes the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS).
-
- Another interesting OO language is Dylan. Essentially very similar to
- Scheme but with the addition of CLOS. It's a new language designed by
- the folks at Apple, so presumably there will eventually be an
- implementation for the Mac.
