- i'm looking for a OO langauge with a clean object model that is NOT
- resource intensive which I can use to teach OO to students. any
- recommendations?
-
- platform: unix, apollos & decs
- students: 50-100
-
- possibilities:
- 1) langauges i know nothing about
- 2) smalltalk 80: too machine intensive, site liscences too complicated
- (opinions anyone?)
- 3) c++ : too pragmatic
- 4) GNU smalltalk: what are the libraries like?
- 5) eiffel: don't know much about it
- 6) lisp-variants: tempting (i know lots about Lisp). but are there
- any LISP object systems that aren't machine intesive and
- with a clean object model (LUCID too machine intensive)?
- 7) prolog-variants: tempting (know some prolog). anyone got a
- public domain edinburgh-compatiable prolog package? and
- please not the toy one from Byte '86?
