Strange to see this show up on the front page now when I wrote this back in 2022. For context, this is a light critique of Guile's CLOS-like OOP system which overall I think is a pretty great approximation of CLOS. I just wanted to write down the things I felt were lacking so I didn't forget them, didn't have to repeat myself whenever one of these issues came up on irc or the mailing list, and could maybe motivate someone to fix them eventually.


Could you motivate someone to do those fixes?


Maybe, but I haven't pushed very hard for it as I don't use OOP very often. I did buy Art of the Metaobject Protocol in case I wanted to try to make some of the improvements myself, but haven't gotten around to it.
