Phil Wadler asked me today:

The truth is, I haven't looked at the A-C calculus for such a long time, that I don't remember. IIRC, it's an object calculus, which treaties classes as derived rather than primary entities, so to that degree, we are similar. How they handle inheritance and initialization of mutable objects, I don't recall.
