Abstract
In this book, we proposed a new language model that extends the range of incremental variations supported by object-oriented programming, and thus promises to be more effective in mastering the complexity of today’s software. The model, RONDO, incorporates features that go beyond classes and inheritance. RONDO represents another step in the continuous process of separation of concerns that has accompanied the history of programming languages, as illustrated in Fig. 7.1. In the remainder of this chapter, a more detailed summary of the contents of this book and areas of future research will be presented.
“What we call the beginning is often the end, and to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”
