I have only one semi-sarcastic comment to add to the discussion on implementing OOP in Transcript.

When people tried to make an OO version of C, the result was one of the worst languages ever foisted off on the programming world: C++. Pascal suffered a similar fate.

My conclusion: you can't turn a procedural language into an OO language anyone really *wants* to use. Don't try.

I'd rather see someone start from scratch and write a new transcript-compatible language that is OO. Bigger task to be sure but maybe the end result would be usable.
