@goops{} is the object oriented extension to @guile{}. Its
implementation is derived from @w{STk-3.99.3} by Erick Gallesio and
version 1.3 of Gregor Kiczales' @cite{Tiny-Clos}. It is very close in
spirit to CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System (@cite{CLtL2}) but is
adapted for the Scheme language. While GOOPS is not compatible with any
of these systems, GOOPS contains a compatibility module which allows for
execution of STKlos programs.
spirit to CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, but is adapted for the
Scheme language.
Briefly stated, the @goops{} extension gives the user a full object
oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with
multi-method dispatch. Furthermore, the implementation relies on a true
meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS
(@cite{Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol}).
@goops{} is a full object oriented system, with classes, objects,
multiple inheritance, and generic functions with multi-method
dispatch. Furthermore its implementation relies on a meta object
protocol --- which means that @goops{}'s core operations are themselves
defined as methods on relevant classes, and can be customised by
overriding or redefining those methods.
