# Old McCarthy Had a Form
Ian Eure

Most practical languages are multi-paradigm, offering several
abstractions for the programmer.  But did you know that Emacs Lisp
comes with a powerful system for object-oriented programming? Join me
for a discussion of EIEIO, and learn how it can help you write more
modular, flexible Emacs Lisp.



# Outline

-   5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)
    -   What is CLOS/EIEIO?
    -   Why would I want OOP in Emacs Lisp?
    -   How is the CLOS object model different from C++/Java/.NET?
    -   Further reading
