these features got my attention first time I saw it,
- The possibility to load class definitions and method definitions (which extend a class) at run time.
- Objects are dynamically typed: Full type information (name and type information of methods and instance variables and type information of method arguments) is available at run time. A prime example of application of this feature is `-loadNibSection
 wner:' method of NEXTSTEP's Application class.

writing haskell makes your life easier:

To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
