Its implementation is +derived from STk-3.99.3 by Erick Gallesio and version 1.3 of Gregor +Kiczales `Tiny-Clos'. It is very close in spirit to CLOS, the Common +Lisp Object System (`CLtL2') but is adapted for the Scheme language. +While GOOPS is not compatible with any of these systems, GOOPS +contains a compatibility module which allows for execution of STKlos +programs. + +Briefly stated, the GOOPS extension gives the user a full object +oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with +multi-method dispatch. Furthermore, the implementation relies on a +true meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS +(Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol). |
