First class class objects, class vs. value namespaces, etc.I was reading up on Scala and noticed that classes and value bindings have different namespaces. This got me thinking about how different languages treat classes. As an extreme case, consider Smalltalk vs. C++. I Googled for papers like crazy, but turned up nothing. There's just too much cruft involving keywords like "first class classes" and like queries. Are there any good comparative studies/overviews of the treatment of classes in different object oriented languages and the implications/trade offs/etc. of these different treatments? Any manifestos promoting one or another treatment would be great as well. Thanks much!
