} 
} 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).
See <A  HREF="http://self.smli.com/">http://self.smli.com/</A> for info.

For some more info about OO languages see:
   <A  HREF="http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/~tpminka/PLE/">http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/~tpminka/PLE/</A>
   <A  HREF="http://www.isg.sfu.ca/life/">http://www.isg.sfu.ca/life/</A>

Another possibility is to use the COM or CORBA models.

Have fun,
Alex.
