Are there examples of compiled languages that support first-class classes ?
Nothing to do with whether the language is compiled or not, other
than all kinds of things being easier to implement in an
interpreted language.
Popular compiled languages I know of that support first-class
classes are: Java, C#, Perl, Python (the latter two compile to
byte-code engines).
Any that are compiled to machine code languages ?
These all have a VM or are interpreted in some fashion
There are compile-to-machine-code Java compilers for Windows. (I
don't know of any for OS X but would be interested in hearing if
there are.)
I think Guyren is correct: I don't think it matters whether you're
compiling to a byte stream for a real or virtual machine.
Cheers,
Dave
