I think he is referring to ADT (Abstract Data Type) based languages
where the various ADT definitions and their related functions are called
classes (no relation to Squeak/Smalltalk classes as objects). ADTs are a
way to avoid the advantages of using actual objects and general
polymorphism while retaining most of the inflexibility and complexity of
"standard" procedural languages <I would grin but it's not really a
joke>.
