In this section, we explain how the object-oriented programming paradigm is implemented in AmbientTalk.
Objects, fields and methods
In AmbientTalk, objects are not instantiated from classes. Rather, they are either created ex-nihilo or by cloning and adapting existing objects, like prototypes in the SELF programming language. The definition of such a prototypical object contains a number of fields and methods that represent the object's state and behaviour respectively.
Sending messages
In AmbientTalk, computation is expressed in terms of object sending messages to one another.
