BeCecil

BeCecil stands for Block-structured extensible Cecil. It is a theoretical core language with multi-methods.

BeCecil is able, within the confines of a small language, to express a wide variety of programming patterns including abstract data types, procedural patterns and, of course, object-oriented ones. BeCecil, like Cecil, is a prototypebased language. It is possible for BeCecil programs to be defined that display other kinds of behaviour. BeCecil supports the following programming idioms:
