Yep, Joe, lets see the code.
Your list sounds pretty interesting and I haven't seen any full-featured OO
system, that actually integrated with Eu nicely.
Most current systems are either basic and flat (my attemts), which usually
do run at a reasonable speed, or full-featured and totally interpreted,
which usually run slow.
The real issue actually, is how variables are stored and looked up. David
uses a pretty readable approach in his Liama, although I couldn't completely
figure out how his class-handling works ... (david, where's the docs ?)
Anyways, certain 'advantages' of OO are often simulated in Eu, by using
routines that 'manage' and 'register' other routines and interfaces, using
routine_id. However, the emphasize is on the word 'simulate'.
Font-libraries that allow different font-handles (like Jiri's), graphics
libraries that allow registration of commands (like Neil), etc. all are
simulations of 'advantages' of OO, rather than direct simulations of OO.
I'm curious when we're going to close this gap, if there really is a way,
with the current scope rules, anyway.
