CommonLoops is an early program which extended Common Lisp to include Object-oriented programmingfunctionality and is a dynamic object system which differs radically from the OOP facilities found in static languages such as C++ or Java. It was used in Xerox's Lisp machines, and was, like its fellow message passing (message passing is implemented through function calls) New Flavors, a major influence on CLOS.[1] CommonLoops also made use of metaobject.

The groups vied with each other in the context of the standardization effort going on for Common Lisp at the time and finally settled on a standard based on CommonLoops and New Flavors." pg 108 of Veitch 1998.
