In article <385@public.BTR.COM>, eeh@public.BTR.COM (Eduardo E. Horvath eeh@btr.com) says: >What we should be looking for is a language that combines the execution speed >of C++ with the structure of a pure OOPL like Smalltalk. >========================================================================= From what I've seen, the current OOPL product that best satisfies this requirement is Eiffel, from Bertrand Meyer in Santa Barbara. One thingf about all the OOPLs is there reliance on "message passing" as a fundamental mechanism. This is usually implemented in some sort of "kernel" in the language itself. Since the Amiga Exec is a message passing kernel already, it always seemed to me that the Amiga would be the ideal platform for Objective C, Smalltalk, or Eiffel. lee
