Common Lisp supports CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. It supports
multiple inheritance, multiple dispatch (think methods specialized on
more than one class). Classes can be changed at runtime. You can
change what class something is an instance of after it is created. The
order and way how methods override each other is completely
customizable by the programmer. It implemented most of Aspect-Oriented
Programming before the term was even coined... and is (in most
implementations) compiled and fast.


And (as I mentioned before) there is a book dealing with its
implementation:
