Brad Cox, Productivity Products (later Stepstone)

An object-oriented superset of ANSI C, incorporating many ideas from Smalltalk (the ICPAKS library)

Implemented as a preprocessor for C. No operator overloading, no multiple inheritance, no class variables. Does have run-time binding.

Used as the system programming language on the NeXT, now on the Cocoa interface.
