I found no mention on Obliq. It and its inventor, Luca Cardelli, have much
to say about object oriented programming, especially about how objects may
be considered as more fundamental than functions, and about class-based vs.
object-based programming, delegation vs. embedding, etc.

Have a look here http://www.luca.demon.co.uk/. For instance,
http://research.microsoft.com/Users/luca/Slides/ECOOP97tutorial.A4.pdf is a
gentle yet enlightening intro.
http://research.microsoft.com/Users/luca/Slides/LICS97.A4.pdf is a slightly
more formal view.
