"The Cecil language design began in 1991 as an attempt to combine the advantages of Self, CLOS, and Trellis: a simple, uniform language based on dynamic dispatching, the use of multiple dispatching, and a sound static type system."

Object-oriented language combining multi-methods with a classless object model, object-based encapsulation, and optional static type checking. Distinguishes between subtyping and code inheritance. Includes both explicit and implicit parameterization of objects, types, and methods.
