At least a way to run both the parent and child methods is often needed (maybe in a specific order, maybe with a way to collect all the return values). I agree with this. However, Yao will not have inheritance; instead, it will be more like Go: composition over inheritance. And interfaces. So I could be wrong, but without inheritance, I'm not sure the entire complexity of the CLOS is needed. Do correct me, though. > Declarations are basically C/C++'s pragmas and __attribute__, but standardized and using a seamless syntax. That's such a nicer descripti

Huh, thanks for replying seriously to my snark, that's more than what I expected! About CLOS, I suggest at least making method combination more flexible than C++'s override. A way to run both the parent and child methods is often needed (maybe in a specific order, maybe with a way to collect all the return values). Declarations are basically C/C++'s pragmas and __attribute__, but standardized and using a seamless syntax. The ClTl2 additions I'm talking about are ways for the compiler to give lexical information to macros: see https://github.com/Zulu-Inuoe/trivial-cltl2 and https://github.com/alex-gutev/cl-environments

Macro expansion is done in the host environment, not the target environment. You can compile the macro definition to a function taking a form and an environment. This would be something you arrange for within your compiler. CLTL2 specifies a function `parse-macro ` which is available in most implementations. Portably you can call it using the `trivial-cltl2` package: https://github.com/Zulu-Inuoe/trivial-cltl2 Robert Strandh has written both papers and code for handling environments: http://metamodular.com/SICL/environments.pdf http://metamodular.com/clostrum.pdf
