You forgot Smalltalk. Everything is an object, even integers.

Yes, and the processing overhead for an addition is about the same as for a square root extraction.

Then have a look at Objective-C. It's been used on a couple of platforms (most notable NeXT and OSX, which are debatably the same thing), has lower overhead than Java, and strikes a nice medium between C++ objects and C simplicity. And hey, GCC supports it, so you already have the tools at hand. http://www.toodarkpark.org/computers/objc/ http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/ -- taa /*eof*/ -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
