I've heard Python's object system isn't that different under the hood.

  You even have the same boilerplate of the first argument to a class member function being the object itself.

    Yes. I was thinking mainly of Perl's symbol table which I believe is also how OO is implemented in Python.

  My understanding was that Perl's OO system was directly inspired by Python's. I can't find a source on that though.
  • cutler 6y ago
    Other way round I think.

      Nope. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/12/06/soto-11.html http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/12/06/soto-11.html > I don’t really know much about Python. I only stole its object system for Perl 5. I have since repented.
