Perhaps this might be a better place to start? } } What properties do we desire a generic object to have? I think that we need to consider the object model before we consider the "root" object. Personally I think that it should be language-independent so modules could be written in any language. This will probably add some programming overhead to non "native" programming but I think the flexibility is worth it. I kinda like the Self object model (but not the syntax of the language).
