Hello All, Recently on #perl6 putter found the Slate language (http://slate.tunes.org/) in our search for some information about Smalltalk. Slate is a prototype based OO language which uses multi method dispatch instead of more traditional method dispatch. As I flipped through some of the papers on the site, I couldn't help thinking back to some of the more recent musing of Larry on the Perl 6 object model. The paper which is most complete is this one:
http://tunes.org/~eihrul/ecoop.pdf Or for those with shorter attention spans, there are some slides which give a high level overview of what is in the paper. That can be found here: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/talk.pdf I think there is definitely some valuable information to be found in here, which we can use in the further development of the Perl 6 obejct model. Stevan
