  MELDC 
 
  A  {reflective}  {object-oriented}  {concurrent}  programming 
  language  developed  in  1990  by  the  MELD  Project  of  the 
  Programming  Systems  Laboratory  at  {Columbia  University}. 
  MELDC  is  a  redesign  of  {MELD}  based  on  {C}. 
 
  The  core  of  the  architecture  is  a  {micro-kernel}  (the  MELDC 
  kernel),  which  encapsulates  a  minimum  set  of  entities  that 
  cannot  be  modelled  as  objects.  All  components  outside  of  the 
  kernel  are  implemented  as  objects  in  MELDC  itself  and  are 
  modularised  in  the  MELDC  libraries.  MELDC  is  reflective  in 
  three  dimensions:  structural,  computational  and  architectural. 
  The  structural  reflection  indicates  that  classes  and 
  meta-classes  are  objects,  which  are  written  in  MELDC.  The 
  computational  reflection  means  that  object  behaviours  can  be 
  computed  and  extended  at  run-time.  The  architectural 
  reflection  indicates  that  new  features/properties 
  (e.g.  persistency  and  remoteness)  can  be  constructed  in  MELDC. 
 
  Version  2.0  runs  on  {Sun-4}/{SunOS}  4.1  and  {DECstation}  and 
  {MIPS}/{Ultrix}  4.2.
