On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning, by Haruki Murakami. A sad story, don’t you think? *sniff*.
But I’m here by the road,

That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars.
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won’t pick me up,
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars.

Agora is a reflective prototype-based object-oriented programming language that is entirely (and solely!) based on message passing. […] However, prototype-based languages often go beyond message passing. Deep down in their implementation, many things such as delegation, encapsulation, cloning and object concatenation can be found as explicit operations on objects. By making such languages reflective, these implementation operators also become visible to the programmer. As such, the programmer can easily bypass the message passing paradigm just by ‘going meta’.
