   [deletions]

   Macintosh Common Lisp, another OO extension to Lisp.  Heard lots of good
   things about it, but like SmallTalk not really viable for shrink wrap
   software development.

Not to pick nits or anything, but MCL is not an OO extention of Lisp,
but rather it is an implementation of Common Lisp.  The Common Lisp
standard includes the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS).

Another interesting OO language is Dylan.  Essentially very similar to
Scheme but with the addition of CLOS.  It's a new language designed by
the folks at Apple, so presumably there will eventually be an
implementation for the Mac.
