  • Meroon V3: A Small, Efficient and Enhanced Object System (1993) view details Abstract: This report describes an object system called Meroon V3 that runs on top of Scheme. Distinctive features of Meroon V3 are indexed fields without inheritance restriction (just think to a ColoredVector class), code-generating metaclasses and an instantiation protocol that respects immutability. Meroon V3 also supports multimethods, coercers, generic equality, metaclasses but not multiple inheritance. This release enhances the previous versions with new features that are discussed in a companion paper [Que93]. External link: Cite Seer
