Lisp (Lingo's grand-daddy) has the 'def-object' function which takes the name of the new object, a parent (or list of parents), and a list of instance variable / value pairs. def-object creates the object in the inheritance heirarchy, and def-method binds methods to the object. Java has a new constructor. In Smalltalk, it is often said said that everything that you deal with is an object, from a number to an entire application...
