Abstract
In this chapter, a prototype realization of RONDO by extending the explicit metalevel of Smalltalk-80 was presented. Our goal in providing this first prototype implementation of RONDO was to demonstrate its feasibility with the minimal effort possible rather than to provide an efficient implementation for practical use. In this context, Smalltalk with its elaborated metalevel has proven to be an excellent implementation environment.
