teaching object-orientation remains difficult. Experience reports suggest that some problems …

In object oriented programming, it is sometimes necessary to copy objects and to compare
them for equality or inequality. We discuss some of the issues involved in copying and …

The C++ language is to a high degree a faithful follower of Simula as an object-oriented
language geared more toward software engineering than exploratory programming. I …

Abstract Domain-specific programming languages (DSLs) are emerging as an important

Study of the history of programming languages reveals a subtle interplay between semantics
and implementation. Early languages, designed for maximum efficiency, provided simple …

Covariant typing policies, as they are available in Eiffel or Sather, result in a type system in
which the correct typing of a system is not implied by the correct typing of each class. This …

A design and implementation of a declarative object-oriented language is presented. The
language is strongly and mostly statically typed and supports software reuse techniques …
