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.
