Googling for “object traits” eventually led me to this: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Research/Traits/

For some object systems, you can compose some aspects of object behavior by using a sort of bundle of methods. I suppose they would be like “mixins” but with known groups of methods.

Hi,

I would like to tell you that I have been investigating into emulating Snit with others OO systems. (yes, really!)

Xoins (http://wiki.tcl.tk/xoins) is Snit under XOTcl and thus, could be adapted to TIP#257. It has never reached full compat. but is functionnal for simple feature. If you dare, you can take ideas from it, it is free software.

As the author of Xoins, I abandonned this project because compatibility with Snit under XOTcl is *tough*.

I hope you will success in your project. Good luck!

I’m not familiar with Traits; can you tell me more about them?

I wonder if you could marry Snit’s delegation model with Traits and get you not only the inheritance you want or need but a very clean way to do it. Just a though.
