- dynamically typed,
- objects are extensible records with mutable fields,
- there are no classes, instead we can define “prototype” objects and extend them
to create instances.

My teaching assistant Iztok Kavkler contributed to the source code as well. I decided to publish the source code as a Programming Language Zoo for anyone who wants to know more about design and implementation of programming languages.
