[net.lang.c] Object Oriented C.. What's the scoop?

jordan@greipa.UUCP (Jordan K. Hubbard) (03/19/85)

Hi all.

About a year ago, I got quite interested in object oriented C.. I talked
to Bjarne Stroustrup(sp?) at Bell labs who informed me that his version of
(I think it was) C++ wasn't going to be available. Then I talked to the
good folks at Productivity Products Inc. Who seemed to have a good (though
somewhat expensive) product. Almost bought theirs, but then the project
fell through.. My question is (I went through all that so you would know
what I knew & didn't) what's going on in this area nowadays? (Efrem? You
out there still?) Has anyone written more/better/public domain (heh heh)
compilers embodying this concept? Have any refinements been made in the
design of same? Has this become a dead subject? (get smalltalk ya bum!)

Mail would probably the best medium for replies. Unless a new debate
is warranted (I probably just missed it)..

				- Cheers..

Efrem Lipkin is currently on vacation in Hawaii, but he and 
I are putting on a Seminar on Post Structural Programming.
That is, those advanced programming techniques since 
(or better than) structured programming.

The topics include C++ , Prolog, Smalltalk-80, Object Oriented 
programming, APL, Q'Nial, Lisp, and exploratory programming.
The seminar is being hosted by UniOps, at the Miyako in S.F.
in April. Some of the speakers include Bjarne Stroustrup (of C++),
Glenn Krasner (Smalltalk-80) and Michael Jenkins (Q'Nial).
The tone of the seminar will be pretty non-commericial.
You are cordially invited.
