JForth (for Amiga) comes with source for ODE (Object-oriented Development
Environment), which can be loaded only when needed or made a permanent
part of the JForth environment.
Objects can be instantiated statically on the dictionary or dynamically
in free RAM. ODE comes with a few basic object classes, such as OBJECT
(base object class) and ARRAY. Of course, the programmer may define new
object classes and methods. Early and late binding are both supported.
