==Overview== The idea is that an [[Object (computer science)|object]] is fully [[Encapsulation (computer programming)|encapsulated]] and can only be subject to message passing. But seen from the inside of the object, the object knows all about its own structures. It is therefore fully able to clone and extend itself. This is accomplished by special [[Method (computer programming)|methods]] named ''cloning'' methods and ''[[mixin]]'' methods. Agora has been implemented in [[C++]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]], and [[Smalltalk]]. Agora98, the latest implementation of Agora, done in Java, allows full access to all Java application programming interfaces ([[API]]s), including the ability to create [[Java applet]]s from within Agora98. From the language viewpoint, Agora98 is a considerable simplification of prior Agora versions.
