object-based language
noun1
- Any programming language that encapsulates the state and operations inside objects that may or may not support inheritance.
- In practice, the term "object-based" is usually applied to those object-based languages that are not also object-oriented, although all object-oriented languages are also object-based, by definition. Instead, the terms "object-based" and "object-oriented" are normally used as mutually exclusive alternatives, rather than as categories that overlap.
