MELDC

   A reflective object-oriented concurrent programming
   language developed in 1990 by the MELD Project of the
   Programming Systems Laboratory at Columbia University.
   MELDC is a redesign of MELD based on C.

   The core of the architecture is a micro-kernel (the MELDC
   kernel), which encapsulates a minimum set of entities that
   cannot be modelled as objects.  All components outside of the
   kernel are implemented as objects in MELDC itself and are
   modularised in the MELDC libraries.  MELDC is reflective in
   three dimensions: structural, computational and architectural.
   The structural reflection indicates that classes and
   meta-classes are objects, which are written in MELDC.  The
   computational reflection means that object behaviours can be
   computed and extended at run time.  The architectural
   reflection indicates that new features/properties
   (e.g. persistency and remoteness) can be constructed in MELDC.

   Version 2.0 runs on Sun-4/SunOS 4.1 and DECstation and
   MIPS/Ultrix 4.2.
