Christian Queinnec, Ecole Polytechnique at Palaiseau Cedex 1991

An object-oriented system built on Scheme, "Invented for a book to describe implementations of Lisp and Scheme. Designed to have a pedagogical but efficient implementation, to support separate compilation, yet to be powerful enough to unify all the data types of Scheme - even vectors and strings - without restriction of inheritance."

All objects of Scheme can be seen as Meroon objects without restrictions on inheritance. Very fast. CLOS-like generic functions. Self-description features: classes are Meroon objects and can be inspected.

Named after the developer's son's Teddy Bear.
