Abstract
In this chapter we introduce a programming language named 0-3 that supports general Self types. The surface features of O-3 are similar to those of the language O-l of Chapter 12, and of the language O-2 of Chapter 19. In contrast with these languages, O-3 handles well both covariant and contravariant Self types, as well as the inheritance of binary methods, but restricts subsumption. 0-3 is inspired by the class-based language PolyTOIL, but includes both class-based and object-based constructs.
