Abstract
Object-Gofer is a small, practical extension of the functional programming language Gofer incorporating the following ideas from the object-oriented community: objects and top level classes, subtype and implementation inheritance, method redefinition, late binding and self type specialization. The semantics of Object-Gofer is defined by translation into pure Gofer. Although this restricts the design space, it turns out that using a suitable framework of monads, higher-order polymorphism, and overloading, objects smooth well with functions.
