Most of the current OO comunity has never seen anything except C++, so how could they have embraced anything else. Note that CLOS in Common LISP is not really class based (Class based: using simula like classes as the major structuring and encapsulation method) and is really closer to Ada tagged types then anything else. Smalltalk is its own little world. Everything else OO is either too academic or too little know to have had any affect on any large portion of the current OO community. -- Mark Biggar mab@wdl1.wdl.loral.com
