* [[AmbientTalk]]: Combines the properties of Self traits (object-based multiple inheritance) and [[Smalltalk]]'s [[Squeak]] traits (requiring explicit composition of traits by the programmer). It builds on the research on ''stateful'' and ''freezable'' traits to enable state within traits, which was not allowed in the first definitions.<ref>{{cite conference | url=http://soft.vub.ac.be/Publications/2009/vub-prog-tr-09-04.pdf | title=Adding State and Visibility Control to Traits Using Lexical Nesting | conference=European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2009) | first1=Tom | last1=Van Cutsem | first2=Alexandre | last2=Bergel | first3=Stéphane | last3=Ducasse | first4=Wolfgang | last4=De Meuter | pages=220–243 | publisher=Springer-Verlag | isbn=978-3-642-03012-3 | date=2009 | series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science | volume=5653 |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-03013-0_11 |citeseerx=10.1.1.372.1265}}</ref>
