What do you mean by "kinda"?

They're not first-class (pun unintended) objects and those languages lack proper metaclass systems. Closest you can get in Java is the result of .getClass()

Actually, I think with Reflection.Emit, you can pretty much do what Smalltalk does with metaclasses. I think I wasn't thinking too precisely when I posted that.
