What percentage of practicing C++ programmers know CLOS and/or
SmallTalk? My experience (direct and indirect, including the several
places my wife has worked recently) is "few". Sure, there are people
who know multiple languages. In this case, Ada's tagged types would
also be a reasonable concept (akin to Modula-3). But, for the great
masses of C++ programmers, the word "class" means "C++ class", and I
believe their reaction is "different is wrong".
