Most languages try this at some point, Java claimed you could link all your code into Java and use OOP. Self-describing components in .NET Visual Basic 6's component method. Windows has had various of these, including ODE and COM. Obviously, any linux distribution, and plain old C linking, probably comes closest (although that tends not to be self-describing. Lots of RPC systems I would say fall into this list, just google for "self-describing RPC" to find a bunch of versions. |
