RE: DOCBOOK: Re: class extends superclass

[Phillip Shelton <shelton@usq.edu.au>]

Don't know about interfaces (not being a C++ or java programmer I am not
sure what is meant by the term) but Simula is a OO language, with classes,
inheritance, hidden and protected attributes, virtual functions.  Simula is
derived from AGOL 60. The first standard was Simula 67, and the latest is
Simula 87.
 
I know that it is not a well know language, but you did ask.

Of course Java is derived from Objective-C. Are there any non 
Objective-C derived (or better yet, non-C-derived) languages that 
have this concept? If so, it would be much easier to argue for its 
inclusion in DocBook, even if I personally only want it for Java. :-)
