Hi Ryan,

A few years ago we gave a lecture about reflective programming at the University of Bern. It shows how to implement a reflective kernel (ObjVLisp) in Smalltalk. Everything is explained, what is the semantics of self (this) and super. It also show how to implement it in Smalltalk.

Cheers,
Alexandre
