Abstract: We discuss Magda ten years after its design. Magda is a mixin-oriented programming language and its goal is to improve code modularity and, as a consequence, code reuse. The aim of this paper is to survey Magda and position it in today’s programming language scenarios.

Keywords: Object-oriented programming language, mixin, modularity, code reuse
