Message-ID: <1620001@hplb29a.HPL.HP.COM> Date: 27 May 88 19:12:01 GMT Organization: hplabs bld 29 Palo Alto Lines: 6 I have a suspicion that the SELF construct may turn out to be the GOTO of object-oriented programming. That is, it will be viewed as promoting unsound code structure. However, I have no arguments to back up this suspicion. Does anyone?
