The interpretation of object-oriented programming languages

From MaRDI portal





There are many books on object-oriented programming using particular languages. There are considerably less monographs on theoretical fundamentals of object-oriented languages and programming, and there is an extremely small collection of books dealing with comparison of language constructs of different object-oriented languages in dependence on their theoretical background. This book belongs to the last group. It provides a comprehensive treatment of the main approaches not only to the well-known class-based languages but also to the very often neglected prototype and actor languages. Finally, it includes a chapter on reflection and introspection, and an interesting project of a mixed-paradigm language combining functional and object-oriented features. The reader should be perfectly familiar with minimally one object-oriented language to exploit the book maximally. The next edition could facilitate understanding by more examples and figures illustrating the described aspects. A chapter on pattern could be an enrichment, too.
