Outline of Final Research Achievements

Object-orientation is one of mainstream concept in programming languages, and inheritance is used extensively to utilize flexibility of the language. However, recent progress in programming language research has lead to many new language mechanisms such as generics or aspect orientation in addition to traditional inheritance. Aim of this research is to unify those multiple language mechanism and design a language with small and minimal "primitive set" of mechanisms. As the result of the research, the author has proposed a language with unified class-composition mechanism, in which methods associated with classes can freely be extracted through meta-programming facilities of the language.
