Abstract
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is one of the most common programming paradigms used for building software systems. However, despite its industrial and academic value, OOP is criticized for its high complexity, low maintainability and lack of rigorous principles. Eolang (a.k.a. EO) was created to solve the above problems by restricting its features and suggesting a formal object calculus for this programming language. This paper seeks to analyze the Eolang language and compare it to other OOP languages in order to develop the core features of this new language.
